Private messaging (spam)

Jump to solution

Hi all,

I don't know how many of you have received this message but I come back after a while to my community account and see a private message, telling me I have a chance of winning and iPad or something along those lines (this really not the place I expected to see stuff like this😂). Firstly, is there a way to delete the message without opening it? Secondly, I may be overthinking this but how safe is the private messaging feature on this site, will opening the message to try and delete it, introduce any risks?

Please let me know.

Thank you

Jay
