I don't think it is a straight scam. Maybe you work for nothing, that's all, but at least it doesn't seem that you will send any money and lose it. But hey! for some people time is more valuable than money itself, and it is a scarce resource indeed, so be careful.

What surprised me is the following:

Is it true that, under the new rules, the merits can be removed? If that's the way it works now, this is the first news I read about it...

I also received the same PM, and it happened on the first of April when the forum celebrated April Fool's Day. The author of the letter was not in on the joke but only read the headline in META, so he decided that merits could be taken away for any violation.

Besides that, I checked his website, and there is no scam or phishing there. The guy wanted some kind of support, nothing more.

Still, the OP's warning is very relevant. Now, the time is coming when scammers have armed themselves with different types of scams to deceive forum users in one way or another. Don’t expect to receive a lucrative offer, but always ask why they are writing to you, and why would someone give money if they never pinch their pockets.
