I received a private message an account created Dec. 7, 2020 with zero post history.
The PM is basically selling a trading bot imitating a brand that's quite popular in another forum. Now I don't know if the offer is really legit or not but a serious seller wouldn't be sending unsolicited PM's to random people right?
I went on to check if I can enable a feature that blocks PMs from newbie/brand new account but there's no option for that. I can only see "Receive personal messages from All Members" or "Receive personal messages from Administrators only" from the Personal Messaging settings. Those options are too limited don't you think? What if I want to get PM from members except new accounts?
Enabling forum users to block unsolicited PMs from newbie accounts is a form of security. These accounts will most likely send phishing links to steal data and funds. Consider also the fact that scammers are increasing during these times (bullrun).
Here's the message if you're interested to know:
