This happened with me and a dating app recently. Unfortunately, there is a big scam tied to Russia with a 336 area code telephone number I think. Dont worry too much although it may be best to delete and reinstall your account.
Yeah, I got the same message - the updated version. that starts off about having "bad news for you".
I think I reported it, bur can't remember for certain. I do know I replied to it...
"No, I've got some bad news for you. I sure would hate to be in your shoes trying to find someone who hasnt seen my junk yet. It's been broadcast more than I Love Lucy."
I got a similar message by text and It was too generic to cause me to panic, not that I would panic. There were no references to TN only to the internet and porn sites, which I don't do, so I just shared it with a friend and we laughed and I deleted it. I believe that most of us are able to detect a scam and will avoid it, but some are very subtle so always use caution.
However, I do agree that there should be a way to eliminate the ones who have been members for five hours and have dozens of "friends" and a "join me at" to a site off of TN. I have flagged many of them but cannot delete the messages as they come right back, a glitch I have reported a few times.
Be sure to flag when you see these as my single flag may not be seen but several probably will.
