Suspicious private message re COVID on YC

Unread post by canes_mj » Tue Apr 28, 2020 2:15 pm

Anyone else on here keep getting a private message on here saying "COVID-19 Everything you need to know"....?? Looks suspicious, like some fishing attempt. Got the same exact message 2 weeks apart. Maybe the mods want to check into this?

Same as you. I've deleted both. Don't remember the screen name used but it was a person who registered recently and has zero post on record.

I got it, too. My fat thumbs opened it as I went to delete it. It had a link inside that I was extra careful not to press. So far, my phone is okay.

I've been deleting multiple accounts every day from spammers. Apparently, they have taken to sending PMs, which I can't see. Because you all provided me the user name, that account is now deleted as well. If anyone gets a spam PM in the future, just send me the user name.

I've been a member of this board since it migrated over from the other site, and I have never looked at the private message section and have no idea where to look for private mesages.q

I have set it so that newly registered users cannot send private messages, so hopefully this nips that in the bud.

Not only that but today I also got an email on a very old Yahoo email account that is only used for, well not much more than a few railroad related yahoo groups. Certainly not an email account I have tied to YC, yet it looked just like a new message email I normally get.
