Interestingly there is a reddit user named Korvin-lin-sognar, who posts lots of pro-Russia, anti-Ukraine, pro-Trump, etc. you name it content on reddit and twitter.
They are also in IT with strong webdev skills, and possibly have an exemption from conscription for working more than a year in a Russian IT company(or are angry it doesn't apply to them?)
Just saying if I was a Russian foreign agent (or troll) trying to use bots to fish and setup a troll farm on lemmy/Fediverse, I'd probably look a like like this netizen.
Edit: I've now been messaged by the sognar account as well as the original missy29. Interesting that the message has changed to include links now. Did anyone else get contacted by sognar?
Admins have now banned both accounts for spam!

Yep!
Here's round two for me:
My first message from missy also had links, didn't think to screenshot it, definitely did not click on them, but I think they at least looked the same...
I did, and it's still there. I isolated the png because it was obviously a suspicious message and realized what they were doing, and wasn't sure if viewing anything without caution might be a problem.
I've had a few messages in the past, general greetings out of the blue, but not with this much "bait". I still haven't figured out how to delete a PM in Mbin (there are no options anywhere that I see), so there they sit.
Long press to bring up options? That works for me in Boost to report PMs.
Can't do a long press on desktop. :/ For what it's worth, you posted that both got banned, but they still show in my messages, so it seems pretty permanent. Maybe I'll look around at Mbin's dev and see if it's a known bug...I mean, feature.
Might be a federation issue too. The missy29 message in my inbox was removed, but my reply is still there.
True, when it's behaving I forget that there is some propagation still going on. Nevertheless, it doesn't answer the lack of any delete options. I've scanned through the main Mbin github, but don't see anything that matches. Maybe people don't look for it normally. :)
