Same here xD which I find strange. These ones are slightly tricky, since PMing spam isn't quite as obvious as making porn threads xD

Still not exactly smart though.

Let's spam a gaming forum with fake anti-virus software where people are technologically savvy.

aww... i sent you 2 of the ones I got if that's any consolation...

I notice some people are getting a little.... panic-stricken by these spambot attacks. There is nothing to worry about as long as you recognize them and not click on any links from them... There are some that are in fact obvious, and some that are not, the ones that are not don't generally post links anywhere..
