Question Anyone receive this PM???

I just received this PM has anyone Else received it as-well?:

We are currently undergoing some major maintenance, you may have noticed www.fordforums.com.au becoming slower lately. In order to rectify this problem and allow FF.au to be as fast as possible, we are requesting a simple favour from a few members.

Can you please provide us (in a return pm) with your login details and password? This is in order to experience the Forums on an end-user level, rather than an administrator level. If you prefer not to use PM with such important details, feel free to email us at fordforumsadmin@hotmail.com.

As a valued user of FordForums.com.au, we thank you for helping us in this matter.

Yours sincerely,
The Ford Forums Administration Team

Hehe that's classic. Who sent that? An admin could simply create a new user account to see things from a user point of view.

Someone should probably sticky this topic up in the pub/bar!

Its a fake. If you are stupid enough to send some one your password you will probably find your username gets deactivated pretty quick by the admin.
