You have received a new private message at Volvo Forums - Volvo Enthusiasts Forum from AdminModerators, entitled "Warning! Next time we will have to complaint to your ISP.".
To read the original version, respond to, or delete this message, you must log in here:

This PM didn't come from the site... Someone is Spamming the site. As a matter of fact, I have gotten the same thing on a different forum non related to this site. If anyone gets this, DELETE IT! It's probably a link to a Virus...
