Is anyone receiving strange private messages?

[edgeofthorns]

I've noticed lately that I've received several private messages from people that have nothing to do with ProgPower, etc. One was even titled, Nice Day! I'm afraid to open them, because there's no telling what it is. Are any of you getting these as well?

Yes. My guess is it's a random-selection spam. A bot or spammer sending a PM to every user would be immediately noticed by the system admin, but if the spammer PMs a random 100 or 200 users, it takes a little longer to detect.

I got one of them on the 14th.

Yes. Got one. Deleted it. No harm.

Same here, got two including the "Nice day!" one.

Spammers suck.

Please let me know the user names of people you get those from. Some I am catching but there may be some that slipped through.

Thanks Deron...I was mainly curious more than anything.

I got one as well and deleted it. I'm sorry MetalAges, I don't recall the username.
