I don't know if we read the same PM, because it totally looks like some kind of phishing attempt to me--and a bad one at that, despite all the technical garbledegoo.

I haven't received any PMs like that, but I just started a thread in Reputation about being alerted via e-mail about someone trying to reset my password or some such thing.  And not that it matters, but I recently got a PM from some guy who wanted to pay me for a review of some app.  The devil was on my shoulder and I wanted to string him along for a bit, but I lost motivation after his second reply.  I'm wondering if other DT members got that same PM, because I'm pretty sure I wasn't singled out for that one.
