Hi!
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. As with any forum, there are periodically lots of "professional spammers" or bots trying to registering to post spam, either in the forum or via PVT. Most doesn't even pass the registration phase, some get deleted shortly after, but a small percentage slip in.
The user in question has just been deleted.
Thanks,
Bye!

I also got the message. The site he linked to seems to be malicious. Do not download anything from it.

I received the same PM, and actually PMmed Mark0 about it before I saw this thread. As I said in the PM to him, I'd recommend sending out an email to all forum members warning them about the PM (it's really confusing talking about a PM that was talked about in another PM :) ).

Got the same message too.
Seems to me like someone created an account (u=370)
to gain access to PM`s, (...sent some spam`s) and deleted the account.
simply a M*****F****R

Not quite, there's no way for you to delete your own account. =) Mark0 stated that he deleted the account, but wasn't fast enough to prevent the spam PM.
