+1 from me! Web Of Trust says it's dangerous in all dept's. WOT is very conservative.
I just had the same message in a forum. I reported it and did NOT click.
Report the message. The sooner the admin knows and kills it the better.
Make sure you have the latest malware database on your machine and if you are worried, run a scan.

I also received an message like this today at the Project AI forums. I don't realize that this was a link until I try to reply. And after, I come back to the message and discover that it is a link to iefa.ru. At the Google search, it shows this site like an Adult Relationship site. Very strange... Luck for me, I didn't click at this link. Probably, this is an Russian hacker that is trying to get information of the people that go to her site. And as an member already said, the Russian sites is the worst location to find plagues in the Internet. For those that clicked in this link, do a scan with an anti-virus, an anti-malware and an anti-spyware and good luck.

Hello!
I got this PM too, on a forum called bmwclub.ro (From Romania, from where I am). I was really inspired to delete it, when I googled it and saw that it links to a site with the description "swingers, porn etc." Usually these websites contain a lot of viruses, spam, adware, malware and all the nasty things you can imagine.
DO NOT open the link. DELETE it!

I'm not sure, but I got the exact same message in my Windows Vista forum inbox and below the "please help" link was this message:
_______________________________
"STOP: If you're reading this in a private message, do not click on the link above. This member recently spammed quite a lot of members via PM, and the above message and link is spam.
Do NOT reply to this PM.
There's also an active topic regarding this which is located here: http://thevistaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=5286...
Thanks."
----------------------------------------
I would leave it alone, and delete it. I'm trying to find a way to report the message, but can't seem to find a way to do it, so I'll likely just delete it and move on with my day. :)

The guy above me is lying to you!! NOD 32 doesn't have a link checker!! Neither does Dr Web!!
STAY AWAY FROM THAT SITE!!! ADWARE' SPYWARE'VIRUSES.
Checked it at web of trust and it came up red. STAY AWAY!!
Any time you see a URL that ends in (ru) That is Russia. That is where some of the worst viruses come from. Avoid it like the plague.

Wasn't it from mininova's forum? The person's account got deleted. I haven't gone to the site yet, but seeing that, I wouldn't click the link if I were you.

I just got the same message from the same username on a Christian website! I didn't click on it, but googled it to find out it's some raunchy sex site. Sheesh. I reported it to admin immediately.
