I just got this PM... of course it is bogus, so DO NOT click on the link as it will try to install a Trojan and/or virus.

DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL!

Thanks Mike for taking care of this. An Admin may want to look at his account settings in the admin panel and in the drop down delete all sent PM's from this user as well.
