All the best,
Domain Forums

The sender was from a Gmail account, and it was sent to the email address that I use for DNforum, but hardly ever for anyone else.

This looks as though it's a security breach in which usernames and respective emails were harvested by a hacker... has anyone else received emails such as these?

FWIW, I edited the links so they wouldn't appear/accidentally get clicked on. They were adult-related though.

Just spam. They signup on the forums and pick out members and email them pretending to be an admin of the forum. Its only spam, not a hack job.

Actually when you do click the link they might install a trojan on your comp.

I know of a couple of DNForumer's whose accounts have been hacked, probably using the same method.

I sent someone an offer for a domain they had listed for sale, seems they hadn't even posted since 2007.
