Got a pm from someone who hasn't posted here since 2012 with a pm that's pretty obviously a scam attempt and most likely a hacked account. Is there a way to report PMs?

I am guessing you can forward it.

Possible it's legit, can a mod "vouch" for isaac? He said a mod could vouch for him. All I'd really need to see is he hasn't spammed the message he sent me around. Apologies if I'm being too cautious just that 2p2 just got hacked and the details of his email had a few flaws...

But are you a spammer? Your ratio of sent vs received PMs is out of wack.

Sounds like a Jeff Foxworthy line.

If your PMs sent is higher than your PMs received, you might be a spammer.

Yes, admins can see PM ratios. We cant see the PMs.
