I only post it because I'm sure others are getting these and I'm sure other users like this will try to pop up.
I didn't click the link he sent so who knows what it could be.

Thanks. Elanshof reported it. It should be gone now.

I checked it. it looks harmless but nonsensical.
Even so, you were wise not to click on it; you never know when some creep might be trying to spread a computer virus around.

Clash of the Clans, I am guessing, without looking, based on the user's name. Anyway, if you ever get one of these, just report it or PM one of us and we'll make sure that the offender is removed.

I got Russian spam by a dude called "CoolForst".
Damn it, even on a TUG's site, they won't leave us Poles alone!

There were a series of these emails reported by different people; this user has since been banned.

Just got a report from someone else about that one. Consider it done.

Make sure you ban the ISP, not just the screen name.
Meanwhile, the spammer is cordially invited to kiss my ass.

Are you sure you wrote that username down right? I cannot find that one in the memberlist; usually I find them at the most recent end but even searching through all the M members the name does not show up.

i also received a 2 strange looking PM's during the last week.
one that said something about "this is where you find the best MSS" and the other one seemed to be written in Russian.
i didn't open the messages because they seemed rather suspicious, and both the accounts that sent them has been deleted afterwards so i deleted both PM's without even reading them.
stay safe guys
