@Hesham_3del (are you a mod)?

I received a private message I'm assuming is a SCAM, supposedly from Stellar (see below -- URL used is a weird one, not Stellar.org). I realized private messages are a good vector to go after LTB people. It might be wise to add a "report" button on messages too, so it's clear for LTB members how to report scammy-looking messages, and purge scammer's accounts.
I'm also thinking it might be helpful to put the number of posts a user has (or some type of reputation metric) on a user's profile and in private messages. Then one can quickly get some sense if a message is coming from a brand new account, or someone who been here awhile (though I guess this could be gamed with a ton of posts at one time, but not w/o the community noticing). I'm also wondering if there are any alerts to mods if someone sends a ton of private messages, or acts in other scammy-seeming ways. I know a platform update is coming, so maybe some/all of this is already in the works.
So, did anyone else get the following message from user "stellartalk.org"?
