@pcassoy

Go into the message and to the left of delete there is "report" click that and just type spammer then hit send to report to moderator.

I did one earlier...this has been going on for around a week or so....

Here's what they right back.

@pcassoy Anyone can sign up for a community account and post / send messages here. No hacking skills required. What you need to do is select "report" link bottom left of message, enter "spam" as reason, then delete the message.

got that myself, too. and I reported the message. I think if Mod receive enough complain on a particular account.. they should deactivate it.. although, he can just create a new one... 😞

@pcassoy Not a hack, just a spammer that signed up and started spamming other members. As suggested just report the message or just ignore it.
