wth...... pm spam...........
Got this pm from WPS
Hey!
I saw you on the WebHostingTalks Forum! I am a freelance website promoter specializing in search engine optimization and submission, and would love to help you promote your site. Unlike most companies I don't charge thousands of dollars, but rather $59. If interested, or you have any questions, please PM me back.
By the way, your site is very well designed!

It would've been more believable if my site was actually very well designed

No what I mean is that it allows the spammer to send to any vbulletin forum a message from his site!

The spammer in question was banned indefinitely, his URL censored and his IPs blocked, no second chance. Just a heads up for anyone else considering this.

I run a few forums myself and I just hate when people spam my members
