Is this real or phishing...?

[Joe Forster/STA]

Never read, make use of or reply to such suspicious messages - be it a PM or an E-mail, be it this forum or any other. User permbanned.

@Empire: These PM spams are getting frequent lately. Can you disable the sending of PM's for all users under a post count of X (X = 5, 10, 20, whatever)?

Thanks guys I figured it was a phishing scam and never click internal links like that but needed to be sure that in some way my computer hadn't been compromised. I play security pretty close to the belt and couldn't figure out how it could be real, since I hadn't been here on this site fr quite a long while and especially over the last three OS system installs.

Hi,

Yes, a promotional gimmick.
I have just recieved a PM from INIKEY inviting me to d/l HOT MOVIES.

If inikey has only one or even none posts then its probably a registration from a 'bot'.

I agree that the PM service should only be available to members with some minimum of posts.
