    I got the same one too. I don't know how to block from my phone so I just deleted it. From the looks of this post seems like the person was working hard getting those messages out. No way was I clicking on that link lol.

    I got this too even though I'm in maintenance as well and it clearly states so on my profile. I just blocked it. Where do we go to report?

    Sadly it is spam bots and none of the accounts are linked. The staff knows about the issue and is deleting each one separately as the names come up. There is a team working on figuring out how to mass deleted and ban these spam bots.

    I got it too... ha It's funny how easy to tell that was spam... everyone on this site knows how to lose weight, counting calories not some silly super secret food.

    Bots are created from code, so a couple hours of collecting data could yield thousands of bots created in seconds. Since they are spamming by PM instead of on the forums the volunteer mods can't do anything about the accounts. We are collecting names and the staff is dealing with them while the analytic team works on a solution. If you guys want to add names to the list we are collecting them here: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10297187/how-to-forward-spam-email#latest

    I'm going to lock this thread and encourage everyone to post names in the other thread.

    Thank you,
