No no, it's not legit, it's a spam message, don't do what they ask you.

I deleted this user and I'm deleting all the spam messages now.

Sorry for this.

Same here. Guess the malware distributors are targetting this site's users now.

I received a new message email but no such message exists in my inbox. I am guessing this is likely what it was.
