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.
I equally received the same message from this member on that April fool day too with the same line of story, went through the profile a bit and ignored the user, whatever be his intention, if at all this is true, he shouldn't have gone about messaging member rather create an official thread, this way he will see people willing to help him in that regard, So I don't fancy the fact that the member go about messaging some members in the forum, looks suspicious, though.I also received the same PM, and it happened on the first of April when the forum celebrated April Fool's Day.
