I could not find another thread for this, so i thought to let people know. Sorry if this has been mentioned before.
A few mins ago i got this private message from the user: Davietorr. The link included in the message goes to a site that firefox reports as an attack page. (i did not click on it, i looked up their IP#).
If you got this message too, delete it right away.
Hope this helps.

If and when you receive one of these messages, I would appreciate it if you would forward me the message in a PM.
We are working on solutions to the problem. One, the phisher seem to be getting more creative. But, I don't understand why they thing they will have any rate of return from a forum full of system administrators.....
Again, if you receive a PM with anything that is spammy, suspicious or phishing, please forward it to me immediately and I will investigate and potentially remove the offending users.

Did you guys start deleting these from inboxes? I got a notification that a PM was waiting, but when I log in the only one I have was from Jan 12. Not complaining, by any means, just curious.
Yes, when identified, PM's are removed from the offending users.
