I received the following "New Private Message" from Lumberjocks! It looks like SPAM, and as far as I'm concerned, it is spam!

Does this mean I need to un-check all email Private Messages to avoid this kind of content?

Is this for real, or am I missing something?

I'd just ignore it like any other spam. They're easy to spot and a minor temporary annoyance IMO. I'd hate to turn off messaging as I get PM's that I want to see and would have no other way of contacting a member. Forum sites like ours don't have billion dollar spam filters like gmail etc. so we've gotten used to not seeing much spam but if you check your spam folder you'll see that your uncle in the Dominican Republic has died, again, and left you money, again, and that hot chick in Uzbekistan still wants to be your love slave. Pretty obvious that English is not their first language. "dear woodworker" sounds almost like the Korean equivalent of "dear leader".

Clicking on the message to view or reply is harmless. Just don't follow the links in the message.

Cricket and her crew are working on it but it's a huge job as they just make another user name and keep on going.
