Is this private message really from MN and how do I report it if it isn’t?

It’s not really from MN ‘Trust and safety’ team, is it?

Does anyone know how I can report it? It only gives the option to block them.

For a start I'd post this on Site Stuff - I would also suggest that you send them an email [email protected]

I doubt very much that it's genuine!

It looks dodgy to me. I would report via the three buttons at top of screen on right hand side. Good luck x

Yes, if nothing else, the random letters in the link's domain name give it away, if it was real the link would be to somewhere on mumsnet.com

Looks dodgy to me. Report this thread for MNHQ to look at.

Hi OP, I've reported your thread to make MNHQ aware of it.

MotherPooperior · 28/07/2026 20:49

Obviously it's not from MN, why would MN message you to tell you they'd limited your AO3 account?! The two sites are nothing to do with each other.

It’s very unclear how to report PMs

MPforTitipu · 28/07/2026 20:56

Any message that pushes you to act quickly is suspicious.

HI OP,

Thanks so much for flagging this. We can confirm that this is not from us at Mumsnet and will be in touch soon via our [email protected] email to gather some more details.

Thank you for flagging this promptly.

Redsparkleydeeleyboppers · 28/07/2026 21:26

Thanks all and thanks MNHQ. I didn't think it was genuine.
