Today someone managed to discover an exploit in our PM system which allowed them to send SPAM related PMs to several of our users. Our monitoring system discovered this issue and blocked the outgoing messages before many were sent. However, If you received a PM or email with a subject or body containing "Play head to head against other gamers to win cash on all the hottest video games available." please do not click any links and delete the email/PM immediately. We apologize for any inconvenience and have temporarily shutdown the sending of PMs until we can permanently close this exploit.
Note that we have deleted all of the actual PMs but some email notifications did go out. We will try and notify anyone possibly affected as soon as we have a chance.
