Question Non-existent user (spam?)

I was recently PM'd by a user named "Eternity". The thing was, when I tried to respond, an error came up, saying that the user does not exist.

Here's the message I got:

Best not to mess with it, just delete the message & move on. I bet it sent a multi message to a few members before it got banned or something.

Yeah, we have been having A LOT of spam accounts opening within the past few weeks, so if you get something like that just delete it and move along.

I got that too, I get it all the time.

Best thing is just to delete the contact/message (And block, if it's a contact, because they'll just keep resending) and just move on

I also received this. Tsk. Spammers are quite annoying. Well, the quote was certainly interesting.

In a separate note, is it possible to report users that do this (in the future)? Or do they generally get closed by the mods (like this one) pretty quick? ;P

They get deleted pretty quick, I've been watching the new members who register and see if the are spammers (they usually make it very obvious).

If the user doesn't exist, that's because we deleted the account after the PM was sent.

Indeed. I had no idea who this was, so I replied saying so but got an error message. Glad to know it means nothing.

I recommend you guys never open messages in which you have absolutely no clue who the person is. The person might put a virus in it or something.DX Happened to me once, but I got it killed.
Other than that, nothing happening with me atm.

I got a message from him to and I deleted it.
The message said, I am a Spamer, delete this message.
Why would he tell me that he is a spamer?

Cat modified the database with all the PM messages. He searched for all the PM messages sent from a spammer and replaced the text with that so people would know that it was previously a spam message and to just delete it.
