Weird Private Message?

Anyone else had a PM from “Support Mumsnet” asking you to confirm your identity in order to continue to post?

Obviously a scam of some sort but just wondering if anyone else has had it?

Nope!

gamerchick · 13/10/2026 15:10

Have you reported the PM?

Usernamesalltakenblues · 13/10/2026 15:15

Definitely report and don't confirm your identity.

BobbleBear · 13/10/2026 15:17

Yes, I reported it because if you looked carefully, it was from SupportMumnet.
They've missed the S out on Mumsnet. So it obviously wasn’t genuine.

Mumsnet have obviously swooped in and deleted and presumably banned that user.

They’ve deleted it now funnily enough.

Hi there,
Just a quick update from us to say we banned that spammer and removed all the PMs and posts by now.

I have also received this today, with a link to somewhere outside of the site.

Definitely a scam.
