WARNING - phishing links in PM from taldows45

    Be careful .. This guy ( taldows45 ) sends a PM with thread url but actually it goes to his own website and logs all your data !
    Just wanted to let you know guys, while he is not banned - someone can get in troubles :(

    If you get any phishing links in your PM or anything as such, just post the profile link here or report the PM directly, these sort of threats catch the mods eye immediately. ;)

    I know only 1 mod nickname - reported already ! That's why I posted it here ( his username ) - to get some attention from other mods and solve it question faster :)

    Thank you for the link ! I have used it a few times, however - I always forget it ( bookmarked now :D ).

    You're welcome!

    I think there should be a "Report PM" icon, just like for posts. It would make mods' lives easier, too.

    The same suggestion was posted by me a week ago - they said that it's not possible to add it at the moment :(
