Beats me.

I didn't get one but the only way for private messages to be sent is one at a time from other members. I don't think it would be too easy to bot. . .

Did anyone else get one?

Do I need to dust off the ban-stick?

Yes, I had one too:

The mad message sender is no more. If he tries to re-register and send more of this junk please let me know.

He was smart enough not to send it to my account(s) anyway. . .

Sorry for the trouble.
