Hey Snickers
I got one too, one of several from different user names. It's spam, don't bother with it.

Dear Robert,
I don't know who are you or what you think you are doing in sending that PM, to try to get me to go to those links, but you've slipped up.
For one, I'm reasonably IT literate, and smelled a rat the second I read your email.
Secondly, I use a Mac, so I'm very intrigued as to how my PC could have picked up some spyware, which is virtually unheard of on a Mac anyway.
Thirdly, it is I who will be reporting you to the administrators of this web site for sending spam.
Regards,
Chris.

I got an email message from news@cultureshop.org.uk telling me i have a private massage.
The message itself was from RobertTaylor - warning me of infection, blah blah blah
like a MORON i clicked on the link and it looked like it was scanning and warning me of infection. i fear i may have downloaded a virus - but a scan shows nothing. |

Has anyone else received a message from someone called RobertTaylor, advising that they will report to your ISP about spam messages being sent?
This RobertTaylor has made no posts and only recently joined and I just want to know if this is spam or if my account has been spamming or something?
I am confused here and really would rather avoid any ISP issues. |

Same spam PM from "RobertTaylor" received here as well.
I also received one last month (March 6th) from an "Andylevvis" that was almost a carbon copy of this one but pointed to a different and now disappeared website (total-scan.org). |

Can anyone help or comment - have they received this PM too or is it just me?
I need to know so I can try and find out if my laptop really is filled with this adware stuff or if I just got some random spam PM. |

Hello! Your computer was noticed in email spam. It is quite possible that it is a part of botnet (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botnet).
Strongly recommend you to scan your computer for trojan horses (zeus, pinch, etc.). For more info please visit http://total-scan.org/detected/catch-twenty2
Follow this, otherwise I have to send abuse mail to your ISP with all the ensuing consequences.
2nd one
