there is a report post icon on all messages, and posts. It's the Black Triangle on the lower left of the post. Definitely report any PM Spam, so we can deal with it.

I too recieved a PM from a bot, but the message is not showing up in my inbox, it just came through my email but said it came through BikeForums.... Here's a copy/paste of the email:

DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL!
***************************

Dear MMacGearailt22,

You have received a new private message at Bike Forums from minny3, entitled "Hey sexy!".

To read the original version, respond to, or delete this message, you must log in here:
https://www.bikeforums.net/private.php

This is the message that was sent:
***************
I was first thinking you were yet another spam profile. I am in fact writing this with my completely new droid at my near friends apartment because my ridiculous internet is out these days. Therefore, I'm sorry just in case I wont respond to questions instantly, but I'm still getting used to making use of this thing. I am excited for a couple days off from work. I am a fit Italian girl who enjoys sex.I have a excellent phone sex voice, hehe.

I live all alone near to city. What I am seeking is a person to have a few cold drinks with and then ideally that will lead into a lot more sexual stuff. I'm in to handcuffs, getting spanked plus I enjoy seeing dirty videos. I am away from work just for three more days therefore I'm seeking hook up quickly. Mabey we could meet at my home for a few drinks someday this week?

I approach dating exactly like I approach sex, risk-free. Better to always be protected cause you never know whats out there. Therefore heres your own invite ************************
You've probably previously seen this website, i set up a personal profile on the website with my personal photos and also phone info. You are not required to have a credit card or all sorts of things like that approach me hehe. Lets get some thing going, its been quite some time to me.

Looking forward to listening to your voice.
***************

Again, please do not reply to this email. You must go to the following page to reply to this private message:

All the best,
Bike Forums

That's because I deleted all of the bot account sent PM's from the system. I can't recall the notifications, though, once sent. Your email addresses have not been compromised, and as you can see, I also placed those URL's to the links in censorship, as well. This incident should hopefully be over with. See the general forum announcement.
