Be careful if you receive what appears to be a PM from the forum admin.  The message tells you that there is a virus on your machine and you need to click on a link to find out more about it.

Can you send me a copy of the PM?  I'll look into it.

I think I found the account - it was named "ForumTeam". 

Everyone - While there are some built-in spam prevention mechanism in the forum, not every single bad account can be identified as being bad until they do something considered bad.  As a result, just like emails please be careful what you open and read.

They just tried signing up as "ModeratorTeam", which I banned as well.  Do not open any private messages from that account either.

If this gets out of hand, I'll have to disable PMs.
