SPAM being sent through Trade Directory

[ChuckMcB]

Hi folks

Is anyone who is listed in the Trade Directory getting daily SPAM sent through the "Send message" link? I've been getting messages like the below for the last couple of months. (I've used xxremovedxx to sanitize the text). It seems to me some script kiddie has figured out a way to send messages directly and in volume.

I haven't had any other reports of it so far, but I'll look into it and see what can be done.

Nope!
