I have had a similar one from "Hulks", and just deleted it. There is a "Report" button as well.

Same here. Cryptocurency spam from "Speedsters".

A "Report" button was mentioned, but I can't see it? Do I have to go into the suspect message itself to report it? Not sure I like that idea.

Message deleted, anyway.

Tthe world of cryptocurency ?

What is this all about? I have never received a "private message" like this before? Is this a scam?

You can report this sort of thing by forwarding it to report@phishing.gov.uk .

Thanks, I thought as much as I am fortunate enough not to get these type of spam/scam messages as a rule.

"You can report this sort of thing by forwarding it to report@phishing.gov.uk ."

It was a Private Message from within BT Community. How does one forward a PM to an external email address (other than cut/paste)?

I still can't find the "Report" button mentioned in an earlier message in this thread.

Open it in your PM, then you'll see the 'report' button, and also be able to forward it.

@Radiant : "Open it in your PM, then you'll see the 'report' button, and also be able to forward it."

OK, thanks. I'd hoped to be able to report it, at least, without having to risk opening it.

Site compromised??
