    Getting spam in your PMs - anyone got any odd PMS today?

    I seem to have got quite an odd private message today. Never had spam before on any forum - and really surprised to get one on TZ.

    Anyone else get any weird PMs today?

    There's a thread about it here: http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.ph...t-on-the-forum

    Looks like a hacked account.

    Feel massively left out not getting spam links. Could have gone for the extra income as well
