    I also had this, when I saw it was sent to more than one person I just deleted. To me it seems like spam and I'm not going to click the link, there has been a high volume of spam posts on this forum in the last few days also so I'm suspicious.

    I reported mine to the mods, feeling more than 60 percent sure it was spam. I will also delete it. DD

    Hi,

    This is the second time this guy has done this. His username was slightly different last time. He has now been banned.

    If AC wanted to advertise something they would post it on a forum/s and you would clearly see who it was from, so if this should happen again let us know and delete the post. You can forward any message which would be perfect

    Take care

    The poster has been banned. I sent a copy of the message to the Mods and it was quickly dealt with.

    Thank you Mods. :)

    I'm glad we have this thread, I got one of those messages too and wondered if I should click the link. I did'nt of course because I'm quite wary of these things. I'll go into my messages and delete it now.
