Yep, got the same thing.  I reported all of those spammy PMs.  They were obviously all from
the same person.  All linking to some google variant which was probably a bitcoin stealing
thing.  In fact I was going to start a topic myself, but I figured others were getting the
same crap.

Yes, i got the same shit.  Why are new accounts allowed to PM?

Are new accounts still confined to certain subforums until they reach a certain post count?

No more newbie jail. The only things they're restricted from IIRC is Investigations, which is unlocked when you hit Full Member+. Rest is just free reign.

Lending section and PM's really SHOULD be restricted to a certain rank and above.
