Why am I getting spam with suspicious links from PM messaging?

[jellybean1]

Does PM condone the use of the PM Messaging system for people to spam?  I received one and reported it to Lucien CS but since I received no reply, I'm posting here.  Below is a copy of the post - I wouldn't recommend clicking the link. I have high security and my Anti-Virus blocked it luckily, but others may not be so lucky.  This should be investigated and people warned.

If you have the setting on to receive an email notification for when you have received a private message then that message has nothing dangerous in it other taking up a small amount of your data bucket. When you go into private messaging and see the message, there is nothing dangerous embedded in the message. The LINK however...don't click on it.

Report, Ignore, Delete.

Thank-you, I did not see that feature. 

However, when I reported it to Lucien CS he should have responded to me, and informed me how PM took steps to protect other account holders. Potentiality very serious issue that I think they'd be liable for.

@jellybean1 

Public mobile does not condone these messages, but it is difficult to prevent in a open community forum. 

Here is the previous announcement:

Just report and delete.  It won't be the last spam message that you will get unfortunately

@jellybean1 Unfortunately PM  Community is an open forum and everyone can join and send out private message like that

What you need to do , just report them:
