spamming in your PM box

I don't get much spam in my email, but I seem to manage to get it in my PM boxes on various sites....

Here's one of the latest (links, and numbers removed to not aid in their own marketing)

Hello
Hello nthfinity,

My name is Kyle and I am the Membership Director at ******* Motorsport Club (www.********.com) I am trying to locate your friend "The Sultan of Michigan". ******** understands the need for privacy, although I thought you, "The Sultan" or your friends may be interested in this opportunity. Prairie Hills will become the longest grand prix circuit in the western hemisphere at just over 6.8 miles. We will also feature world class amenities such as: Hotel, Spa, Team Garages, Recreational facility, Private Airstrip and Club House. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to drive your cars the way they were meant to be driven. All within the luxury and safety of a private race track.

Please, I am not trying to spam you, all I ask is for you to look at the information. If you are interested, please pass it on and/or contact me at ******@****.com. We are passionate about automobiles and racing, and judging from your posts, so are you.

Do not worry, if I do not hear from you, I will no longer contact you.

*** *****
Membership Director

I get stuff similar to this on a semi-regular basis ... anybody else get pm box spammed?

Hmmm. It seems like it was specifically addressed to you, nth. Maybe I'm not in the right geographical location.

Yep, and they soon will learn the KL's and JM's would not be the bread and butter members, but rather the "regular" folks with only 1 or 2 cars... ;)

I mean MSR has about 5 billionaire members, quite a number of millionaires and many more middle class folks.. and even with the track being booked every week and busy its an ongoing mission to keep the cash flowing ;)

Huh. They're promising a lot of stuff. No wonder they're charging so much for memberships. Although, if they want to keep things "exclusive" they should try a better marketing strategy. :-P
