Default Spam from Snafu

I got a private msg from snafu this afternoon that seemed like spam and frankly didn't make sense at all. I highly doubt snafu is the type to send something like that so I am going to go ahead and assume their account got hacked? Just fyi.

I alerted Jeffrey about this. I'm sure he will look into it.

Without actually reading the message, I think it was probably just a mistake (wrong recipient). I only show 1 private message from that account in the last 20 days or so.

Message sent to jeffery.

Sorry Snafu! Probably just a misunderstanding, but I didn't realize you could have sent it to the wrong recipient.
