I just don't know if it means that legitimate users are unknowingly sending these messages due to their PCs being compromised or if it means that a bot is creating these accounts and sending the messages.
They're not legitimate users. We're looking into possible ways to prevent it on the registration side, but in the meantime, alerting us if you receive a PM like this (either in this thread or by sending a message to a moderator) would be helpful. Specifically, we need to know the username of the person who sent it to you.
