If the name hadn't been in red, I'd swear this was a hacker from Towns circa 2007. The wording and promises of riches for just a little bit of personal information are eerily similar, anyway. I reported it for offsite advertisement and trying to access my credit card info. Sketchy as hell, this is.

Hah, you, of all people, making a thread with this title. These are strange times in which we find ourselves, indeed.
Come now. It's not at all dubious. We know exactly what this is: A sponsorship cash grab. It's just that I'm not willing to put up with it anymore and neither should you, nor any of us.
I would like to encourage each and every one of you to report this, so we can send a message... But I can't promise that it will work out. We've seen a lot of creative redefinitions of the rules used to ban people. I feel that they legitimately broke their own ToS, but that may not stop them for handing out bans for "abusing" the report system.
Proceed at your own risk, but I think they'd balk at the massive numbers they'd be losing. SF isn't taking this one quietly.

I wish I'd thought of reporting it! I just deleted it, shaking my head in disbelief. You're completely right, it does look like a hacker message. xp

Same here, I got one also but I always never trust those kinds of messages that needs personal info on people so I just trash it anyways. 3nodding
