Has anyone else received this Message?

I am fairly new to the community. I signed in and had a message. I clicked it and it took me to another site.. Is this something Public Mobile sends out? Possible scam? I copied and pasted the actual message...

DO NOT click on the content within this message.

It is phishing scam.

@brianchamp Yes that message has been sent to quite a few users over the last several days. As suggested don't click on that link or any link that comes unsolicited from unknown parties.

Thanks for your help... Who and how do I report the Private Message? I looked for a link in my PM folder and could not see anything... I thought posting it here would let other know it is not legit..

Thank you everyone for your help..

@brianchamp

At the bottom of the message, there is a REPORT button.

It's not amazing that they try. Because it's amazing that some people will always be suckered.

Looks like spam. Baits like spam. Smells like phish.

It is spam. Don't ever click on those links. I didn't.

This is the first one I have received since I joined PM in March. It's not a common occurrence, yet.

It is a scam. Public Mobile won't send you to another site and make you pay money to win.

~~I notified the moderator and will have my browser classify it as a scam.~~

I also received the message, but forgot to report it - I did delete right away. These scammers seem to be everywhere now! Be careful!
