    yes...this seems like some kind of coordinated SPAM attack on DP members. To be honest, I think we will just have to grin and bear it like all other spam.

    Im sure that most DP members know what to do with this information

    I may be contributing to the school of the bleeding obvious - but some people may not realise this - if you're being bothered by spam/phishing messages in your pms (and there seems to have been a recent outbreak of it), you do have the ability to turn off private messages in your cp-options panel.
    Not an option if you're using pms to do business, obviously, but you can turn the option on and off again when it suits you.

    I also got it but I dare not click on the link. Might contain a virus or spyware.

    He was spamming everyone online, spammed got banned, register a new ID spammed again, repeatedly, hope the mods can ban his url so that it became ******* this would sure stop his spamming.

    I got the same message and ignored it. I dont' like people PMing me here not unless it's business related then we'll talk. Someday those PR7 PR8 sites will get banned from google anyways. lol

    I got the message too and I visited the site. It was just some kind of crappy article on how to get a backlink from the Adobe.com's website forums or something like that.

    would this be the work of one person or a whole group?.

    If this is one individual creating multiple accounts then it must be possible to ban the IP.......correct?
