    It is Spam. I believe Gabe made some changes to PM privledges so you should not get any more.

    Do not click the link in the PM.

    Not just spam but malware. It would have messed up your computer big time!

    FYI the forum moderators have NO IDEA what's on your computer - particularly not whether or not you have a virus.

    Except you, [ame="http://www.frugalvillage.com/forums/member.php?u=17090"]Frugal Village Forums[/ame] - we saw what's on your computer and YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED!!!!


    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

    As russ indicated. Normal users should not receive these kind of PM anymore. If you do, feel free to post on the board, help center or PM me. Thanks for showing this.

    I got 7 of them on iquarrel.com.
    Thankfully I didn't open them.

    On saying that I just got another one on there.

    It was exactly the same as the one that you got.

    Which user sent this on iquarrel?
    When these things happen would you mind using the report feature on iquarrel? This allows me to track trends that these scriptkiddies uses.

    I just deleted a whole slew of PMs on IQ and didn't even notice who sent them, sorry GAbe.

    Some of them had really OBVIOUS usernames tho. Do a search on post count 0 users and you'll spot them.
    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.
