Scams in Private Messages?

Callan89 — Sat, 15 Oct 2022 07:38:44 GMT

Hello,

I've been receiving PMs about signing up to win new IPhones and I'm not sure why? The links in the body of the messages seem super sketchy and I never click on them. Also, is there a way to block other users from messaging you here?

Thank you in advance.

Open the message but not the links in it. On the top right of the message is a gear icon. Choose the ignore user option. That member will no longer be able to send you private messages. Otherwise, please ignore such obvious spam messages.

Sounds like a spam because the first Points Contest for the iPhone 13 has expired awhile back. You can click on the gear icon on the pm and report as inappropriate so a CS_Agent will take care of the Community member.

Contest will be announced on the PM Anouncement section on the 3 horizon line on the top left.

Report as spam and delete. That's about all you can do.
