Thanks for the flag guys. I was sent a PM from the user too. They've been banned from the community.

You can turn off receiving PMs from people you don't follow within the forum settings, but that also means you'd have to follow someone in order to have a private conversation with them.

Yeah... the "IRS" keeps calling me to say they're "filing a lawsuit against" me for something and "an urgent callback is necessary."

I got the exact same one overnight too. 😞

Pity they weren't more creative though. I'm always happy to share my bank details with you if you're a Nigerian prince looking to distribute your wealth! ahahaha

I have fun with those people. Love when they threaten to send armed agents to my door. I tell them "Good, I'll make coffee!"
