Did anyone not listed on the newbie guide, but is an 05 member(i.e Rights or Djoric) get one?

Or is that just my raised-by-a-paranoid-sysadmin-to-be-paranoid-ness talking?

Edit: Warscribe has confirmed that this is a mass spam that has been sent to a lot of people outside the Foundation wiki, although it seems like only staff have been targeted in our case, but that it's extremely easy to obtain a gmx hostmask. Since the account has already been reported to wikidot, not much else to do for now.

Hallo,
Ich mag dein Profil in dieser Community Netzwerk und ich denke, Sie sind ein netter Mensch. Können wir in Kontakt treten? Es tut mir leid, wenn ich Sie peinlich bin, soll ich alles um mich mit meinen Bildern zu erklären. bitte können Sie mir (moc.xmg|ahplaanaiviv#moc.xmg|ahplaanaiviv) auf dieser Website nicht zu schreiben, weil ich eine neue in dieser Gemeinde bin und ich glaube nicht, besuchen Sie diese Seite oft, würde Ich mag, um Sie kennen zu lernen, wenn Sie nichts dagegen haben,
Bitte Es ist etwas Wichtiges möchte ich Ihnen sagen,
Danke & Grüße
Fräulein viviana.

Hello,
I like your profile in this community network and I think you are a nice person. Can we get in contact? I'm sorry if i am embarrassing you, i shall explain all about myself including my pictures. please you can write to me ( moc.xmg|ahplaanaiviv#moc.xmg|ahplaanaiviv ) not in this site because i am a new in this community and i don't visit this site often, I'd like to get to know you if you don't mind
Please There is something important i want to tell you
thanks & regards
Miss viviana.

Seeing as they aren't even a member of the site yet (and a quick Google search of the provided email results in totally unrelated forums where other people have gotten the same message)… I've flagged the user.

Apparently, FlameShirt has received one of those messages too. I'm not sure who else has gotten the PM (maybe they're targeting everyone who has an author page?) so at this point a thread on the mainsite may not be necessary, but if it turns out that a lot of people have received the PM, maybe it'd be worthwhile to put a thread up telling people to flag the user and ignore them.

Edit: Looks like they're targeting staff.
