Best thing to go gang is delete that PM. From doing some research, I discovered this person is Administrator/Moderator at another message board.
They were banned at another site they belonged to as well.
Their IP address is in Romania so we know this is no ones girlfriend here!
Seems the work around for sending this spam was to join up, not post, collect names from a post count list, then send their spam.
You guys and gals did what you could by forwarding it to alert Moderators and Administration. I see that there is no way (yet) to report a PM or members profile for site guideline violations. Perhaps as we grow that might be necessary to have that feature.

Yes, that will work. However, for a first time spammer/poster, you don't know until they do something to know that you want to ignore them. I believe once a PM is sent, it will remain in your in box until you do something with it. I am not sure on this part though.
You can add this user to your ignore and you will have no clue they are logged on. This is true with anyone you add to your ignore list.
I am watching just in case I am wrong about this member, I haven't hit the "ban" button just yet. I am watching though!

Hay gang, it happened to be when this member was creating this 'list' of members to send this to, they used the BBC (Blind Carbon Copy) feature. What this does is not show all the recipients of the message as so to be seen by all the recipients. However, there is one name that does appear. So, that is why it seems that jx3 and JimDaddyo are 'involved' because their name appears as a start in the recipients list. Don't pick on our members, it's not their fault their name ended up on this spam PM.
It shows JX3 as the recipient, ban him now! 
, I feel so used...
Just deleted it since had no clue who and what it was.
