Has anyone else received PM’s telling you your ad was declined whilst they look at it behind the scenes to keep people safe etc but then provides a dodgy looking link to click? I’ve had 2 of those messages a few hours ago - considering I haven’t posted any ads I’m not worried lol, but it’s definitely been made to look like a Mumsnet official bot and I can’t see a way of reporting spam messages, just blocking the sender.

Hi there @Tillow4ever . Thanks so much for flagging this here. You're absolutely right - this is nothing to do with us. The person behind those PMs is now banned and we'll go in and delete those messages now to stop anyone else potentially being taken in.

@HebeMumsnet I have had a DM from bot MumcnetVerification too - "Deleted at Request of User".

Is that account still active or has it been booted?

@Bosky - we've banned the account and have removed all of the PMs they'd sent.
