Fake administrator email?

Recent received an email saying it's from the forum administrator, but I highly doubt it. Obviously I didn't actually click any of the links in it since it seems suspicious. Also if I posted this to the wrong section I'm sorry, but this seemed to be correct =). Here's what it reads:

DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL!

Is this legit? Cause I mean... how the hell would you guys know if I passed the virus scan or not?
 
That actually came from the ROMs forum, and it's not legit. A spambot just registered there and sent that private message to as many registered users as it could. If you follow that link, you'll no doubt be infected with a virus, spyware or some other dipshittery.
