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...

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

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

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

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

@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.
