PMs from spam bot brown815 - LiadansWhisper - 10-21-2013
This user "brown815" has flooded my inbox with spam messages. Â But I don't see an option to report him as a spam bot (which he would appear to be).
Not really sure what to do other than to say something here. Â :-\
RE: How do I report a user as a spam bot? - Xenedra - 10-21-2013
Taken care of. I got a message as well and banned the sucka. To anyone here who may have gotten the messages, DON'T click the link. There is a HUGE possibility that the website may have a key logger and you will compromise your account. Even if you have a security token, SE's servers are NOT secure right now, so if you did curiously click the link, I HIGHLY suggest running a check on your system before logging in.
EDIT: moving this to headlines for a bit so no one gets snagged.

Ugh. Ad bots are trying to get more clever/aggressive it seems. Got two PMs myself. I may have to implement PM restrictions for new registrations -.-
To reiterate though, do not click the link in the PMs.
