Hi everybody,
I hope that this is the right forum to post this.

I just received a rather strange PM from someone. They were asking me for my bank account number in order to deposit a great amount of money. The PM had an extensive story why they want my help in order to transfer the money into my account.

Now I didn't know where to report this so I found this forum which I thought was appropriate.

If some administrator is reading this, please provide me with instructions on how to proceed. By the way, I just noticed that the person who send me that PM has the flag "Banned" under his name.
