Default Spam?

I am not sure where this question goes. How do I know if I have been spammed? I found 2 messages in my PM one from ETERNITY with a link (deleted) and another from outsider ( can't remember who) was giving me a list of suggestions for the Beginner forum because he said he wasn't allowed to post. (it disappeared). And if I get spammed is there anything I am suppose to do?

Delette anything with links from people you dont know, forum has cut out a lot of spam on the forums so they come up with new ways of spamming without geting banned, in top right corner when you open message should be a little box put mouse over it and it will say report message that way we can ban them and no one else gets spammed.

Sorry. It got away from me. I don't have anything to send you. I must have deleted it.

This was one guy and I think he was doing both. Otherwise, why would he have put it in my Private Messages. He could have put it in my Public Messages as a forum suggestion. The joke is on the spammer because I only stumbled on my Private Messages on Saturday. I thought PM meant Post Message or Public message. I am pretty close to being computer forum illiterate. I don’t twitter, don’t have a face book account and just got a cell phone a few years ago. I know, it boggles your mind.

However, I still don't have his information.
