It’s a bot. Delete the messages and don’t click on anything. They’ll be banned as soon as a mod gets online.

It's a bot.. It's automatically copying and pasting your username into a message.

These are programmed to grab the names of vBulletin forum users and private message them. This forum runs on vBulletin, which is why it's such a common target for spam bots.

i like to think Pvt Sherman saw a thread on /pol/ that mentioned the Liberian Civil War and then he looked it up

Hans Grosse · 07-30-2021, 07:53 PM

Luckily, I didn't get it.

Hans Grosse · 07-30-2021, 08:49 PM

Ok guys I spoke to Emily and it turns out she only meant to send those PMs to Patryk, the rest were by accident. So Pat, you go ahead and click any links she sent you. The rest of you, ignore them!
