A spammer with the nick "jakata" just PM'ed me. Screen of the PM is here (http://i34.tinypic.com/2zp6xph.png).

Notice the deceptive URL in the message which actually points to another domain, his lack of posts, recent join date, etc.

BANNINATE! :-P

Can you forward the PM to a mod or admin (and a link to user profile)

Gah, I already deleted the PM, but I sent a message to mattisking about it a few minutes ago.

Ok. I guess he'll deal with it when he gets it.

There have been others. This is a recent tactic. I just banned another PM spammer.

Please tell us if you (or anyone else reading this) receive others.
