Simply send a PM to Admin about this. This seems to have become a problem as of late.
How Do I Comic?
I critique because I care.

^ This. It seems like a new issue.
Sadly, the mods can't do anything about PM spam, Admin is the only one with any power over that.
We'll keep banning suspected spambots since I think banning them prevents them from sending more messages, but that's all we can do ):

I haven't received one. Maybe it targets newly registered users.
Just a guess.

I don't think it's a good idea to draw conclusions from such small sample sizes. For all we know it's just random. It isn't in the scammer's best interest to target everybody due to the nature of the spam, so most of us won't get those messages, at least not so early on.
Busy, busy.
