Do I report what I think is a phishing post? If so how? Thx

If you are talking about a post on the forum, click on MORE beneath the post and you will see REPORT, last but one. Click on that, choose why you are reporting it - spam, personal abuse, other, etc., and just add a sentence why. That sends an Abuse Report to Admin and we will deal with it.

If you are talking about a Private Message, follow the instructions here support.healthunlocked.com/... (scroll down a little to Reporting Private Messages). Those reports are dealt with by HealthUnlocked not Admin.

I think she might be talking about a PM sent to 224 people today. SeasideSusie , how do we report a phishing PM? phirestar , are you also one of the 224 people that someone or some bot is following and sent a message saying "I pick interest on you from this forum" and includes their email?

Just report the PM to HealthUnlocked as illustrated in the link I gave in my previous post, it doesn't matter what the reason is, if it's not listed then click on OTHER and explain the reason in a few words. HealthUnlocked will see the PM and see what the problem is, hopefully the person will be banned.

I can't help with how to report a PM when you use a phone. It doesn't seem to be in the guide I linked so use the Contact Support link on that page to report it.

That's the exact same follower message that I received. Then, not even 2 minutes after I posted above, I received the following:
