Possible Virus Doing the Rounds At NS

I got a telegram from permgies just now saying:

"hey, bob-omb. How are you? Take a look at the watch I bought for someone:
www.iwalton.com

What do you think?"

This morning on my other nation, Dingly Dangly, I got the exact same telegram there. Though I'm not sure who sent it to my Dingly Dangly nation, I don't think it was permgies. It was the exact same telegram though, word for word except for "bob-omb" and "dingly_dangly."

Peculiarly though, in the telegram to my Dingly Dangly nation there was a underscore (_) seperating the words "Dingly" and "Dangly", though the actual username doesn't have the underscore.

I think this is either a virus or somebody sending (rather annoying) TG's to random people. Both of which are something to watch out for, no?

If this is old news, I apologise.

Yeah, we already know. It's a spammer and we're dealing with it.
