I've also received messages from users I don't know offering certain services to me. their sentences always begin with a compliment to us.
like " I see you are a good person in crypto trading bla bla bla bla ... let me offer my idea ...." and many more beautiful words delivered.
I didn't suspect it would be a scam. but I feel there is something odd with the praise he gave. Because I actually feel that I am a person who is still new to crypto and I am not proficient in trading crypto. in fact I also always say that I prefer to invest regularly in Bitcoin with scheduled installments. the point is I rarely do trading activity.
so I decided that the person who sent the PM was just sending me random messages which he also sent to other users. so I always avoid responding to it. (spam)

If you receive a message like this better ignore since mostly this is tactics made by scammers and they want to deceive people by some unrealistic offer which you regret you try later on. If they are legitimate running a good business for sure they create a thread and have proper explanation about their business model. They will not by send any personal spam message to random individual since I always take this as shady behavior.
For new guy in forum better ignore such message and continue to learn more information which is more useful to you.
There's a service section to share such content where members can always review the service being rendered and give their feedbacks... And not by spamming forum members with unsolicited messages. I don't know if the owner of the account lacks thinking cap but no one would take you seriously if you PM them with messages like this. I hope you get to report the account also and the forum's administrator places a permanent ban on the account because it's obvious he/she has ulterior motives for bombarding the DMs of community members.

Click on Report To Admin and specify the reason whether it is advertising, spam or contains referral links / viruses, and the account will be banned.
The problem lies in the ease of creating these accounts, but I think that the more these accounts are banned, the higher proxy-ban IP addresses associated with them are, and therefore creating more accounts with them is not available.
If you get a lot of these messages and they are annoying, click on the option to block newbies to send you messages.

When receiving messages from newbies is I usually ignore but blocking newbies from sending you private messages is the best solution if you ask me but if you don't want to block newbies then what I said about ignoring the message would do compared to opening links that you are not sure of or wary about it as it could be a phishing site, contains a malware that will be automatically downloaded once you access the link and there's also a report to admin if you wanted to report the message.
Buddy thanks for this link and giving instruction how to prevent unwanted things from newbies, hopefully I will be having much better things every time when I will be on this forum for increasing my knowledge of bitcoin.
That's in the settings where you can check the box if you want newbies to send you pm or not.

You can block newbies to send you messages. It depends on your view about that but if you are not disciplined with strangers' messages, blocking their messages proactively is a good prevention.
Use this link, change u=UID to u=youruserID, then uncheck this option "Allow newbies to send you PMs."

Try to also report it using the 'report to admin' button below because unsolicited PMs especially those containing promotional content is against the rules.
29. Sending unsolicited PMs, including but not limited to advertising and flood, is not allowed.
If you can not put out your service in plain sight for everyone to see to voice out their opinions & criticism (positive or negative ) and prefer to do your marketing in people's private messages that is a definite red flag and no one should jump on such services!!
Btw should you run into a problem when you use such a service, it's even difficult for other forum members to help out because you left all other services that have built their reputation with the BCT community and preferred to use the shoddy service for whatever reasons and you will have yourself to blame!!!

Best solution to avoid unsolicited messages and prevent the PM spam and headaches.
I have received like six messages on this forum that look like what you have OP, and yes they are not making any sense, I tackled one, telling him to create a topic about it if he wants the attention from members on the forum, if he PM then he has something he is hiding, but he never did and he stop sending me HI....
Any PM from members on this forum that looks like an offer is a possible scam, because if the offer is a legit one they won't spend their time sending through PM to members on the forum, you can refuse to PM back and pretend you don't get the messages or you can add them to your ignore list.

I got a similar message on May 28, 2023, from the same sender. I just ignored it, thinking it was from a newbie who did not know how to create a topic and was taught sending PMs was the best thing to do, but looking at the account, where a copper member is already activated, proves that the person knows exactly what he is doing, so I just went back and reported the message to the administrators. Now I see reasons why most users here on the forum restrict newbies from sending them messages; it's always a link to another site or a new form of spamming every day. I think I will just activate that.
