Exclamation warning about a potential problem with a username

Hey everyone

This is just a quick heads up for you all. I moderate on another internet forum and we've had our attention drawn to a user named 'kaneweber' who has been joining random internet forums recently.

This person doesn't post on the forums but will select random forum users and send them malicious Personal Messages which either contain a malicious message or a malicious link to a site which will infect your PC with a virus. The PM will be titled 'New Year' or something similar - sometimes the titles will have relgious references in them

The advice being given is that if this user joins and sends a message to you, do not under any circumstances open it, delete it and inform the mods/admins of the incident.

Just to let folks know - hope it was ok for me to post this

Lots of love from
cavegirl
xx
