PM Virus Warnings

[Jirachi's Wish]

I've been recieving these pms warning me about viruses on my computer, and telling me to click a link. Has anyone else been getting similar PMs? I've scanned my computer and the results come up fine. I haven't clicked the link as I went on to another forum, and have seen posts about similar problems.

It's a spambot, likely hoping you'll download some device or another that will probably infect your computer with spyware. Best to just report the PM and then delete it.

Not here, but a little while ago at Serebii.

I was looking at another site, and I've heard of the same PMs coming from bots with the same names.

Yes. They're SPAM; disregard them, your computer is safe. Report them via the reporting system, please.
