He PMed me too just now. Who the hell is he? He said to click onto a myware or spyware site. I am guessing a spammer as well.

Yep, same guy with a request that I run some kind of software or my account would be deleted.

I think Kendrick is a fraud and this is an attempt to zombie computers through a fake threat..

If it were me, I'd delete Kendrick's account and ban his rear before he infects more people.

Apparently it's someone trying to infect your computers. I"m not an admin, but will relay the message to Monkeee and I'm sure the guy will be toast.
