I recently received a message here in Community.  When I click on the link, a warning pops up saying that this is a potential Hazardous Site.  Is it a scam?  "

Yes I saw this too and there was no comments on it so I just deleted it as I would have figured there would be conversations about it if it was good

There are many of those private messages coming in under different sender names. I've received 5 . As others have said report and delete.  The moderators will msg you to say they have banned the sender, but more are likely. Reporting will help the moderators find and eliminate them.

Do not click on any part within the message.  It’s spam. Report it by clicking on the Report button to the bottom left of the message.  After reporting, delete the message.

@gordog yes it's a scam. Anytime someone contacts you out of the blue offering something, it's probably a scam. The website to enter isn't even Public Mobile. Click the "report" link bottom left of message, type spam as a reason, then delete the message.

Edit: FWIW, NEVER click on a link from an anonymous email offering you something.
