I would imagine it is a PM, and you have chosen to get email notification of PMs.
Human spammers are almost impossible to stop completely.
If it was a PM, can you click on the user? If they haven't already been banned, could you report their user name?

I can't see where to mark them as spam...
I'm sure she was offering $1 million dollars! LOL
Well, I hope you kept the details, as the user is now banned...
Thanks for reporting it.
You can report posts, but not PMs as far as I know, so if you get any more you can either mention it in a thread, or just PM me.
I got the pm as well
I apologize for the spam issue. I believe this was a configuration issue that has now been corrected (just now). We've been investigating a recent spate of spam in this forum, and it's caused us to play with a lot of addons and settings we don't normally touch, and I think we flipped a lever the wrong way.
Yep, saw the same message
I just got a dodgy PM from Lauraralph.
Banned.

@whu606 - she's baaa-aaack... User Lauraralph12 this time, again sending PMs all around.
Following stock message was sent to me:
And gone again!
Thanks for letting us know.
