Spammer/scammer private message

I got my first "private message". And it was spam!
Eco, you might want to enable a "report spam to adminstrator" for private messages, if that is available.

Here is the text of message (redacted, where appropriate):

I have received the same message twice, from "members" Dersterman and XandderrMan.

Hello, friend. There are viruses' activities from your computer in last few days. Strongly recommend you to check your computer. You can find a report about your computer's security and solve every problem with it here: <address>
Thank you. Forum member.

Is this a common problem?
