A new user is registered under the name "coinflipz" who is sending out phishing PMs.  They send what looks like a link to a bitcointalk thread, but the actual link is different from the text, linking instead to http://bitcointlak.my-board.org (actual link is a bit longer leading to a clone of the Bitcointalk.org login page).

The PM I got was targeted to me as a pool owner.  I'm not sure how many others are getting something similar.

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

A lot of mods (if not all) have also been targets of these PMs, seems like their trying to grab important accounts.
