New spam private messages
So I just got this sketchy private message from a "member" called MAALI140:
Seems like it's popping up on other car forums as well. Some people on those forums tried to contact them and concluded that it's highly likely a scam.
Has anyone else got this PM? Just want to give mods a heads up.

I got one too. The scam is pretty simple. Collect a list of email addresses associated with usernames on the forum.
A halfway decent scammer would've at least made a separate email for each forum instead of telling the person to provide that info.
Please provide links to the forum home page, and tell me your name on that forum.
