Anyone else got a random private message on MN?

Never had any problems with PMs before, but just today had a strange spam one:

Hello, I'm [username] from XYZ. You?

Nothing else. No reason, no questions, not someone I've interacted with on chat etc.
Is this spam on MN now?

Markus from Finland sent me a message recently because he wanted to know about his girlfriend sunbathing topless in Spain.

No.

Is it spam, or does someone random think they’ve recognised you from a different board (and may be wrong)?

No idea about Markus from Finland, though…

Hi all

We did have a rather intrusive troll PMing people about topless beaches not too long ago.

If you see anything suspicious in your inbox, please do not hesitate to report it to us using the report button. We can take a look and, if it isn't above board, we can deal with it.
