I've received a number of messages in the last day about some new site it seems to just be disenfranchised boards users who have obviously never heard of Reddit. However, these messages are annoying an spam and the site probably infringes on your brand so you should probably do something about it.

I've just received this pm also. I thought it was potentially a virus link or something?

Can you report those PMs so they can be dealt with? You might need to use the full site but there is a little icon like this that you can use to report PMs to Admins.

We've had a few people reporting them already and action has been taken. best thing you can do is ignore or trash them tbh.

Yeah looks to be for people that hate Boards and everyone on it.
Person was banned by the time I opened the message.
