As above - received yesterday.

An invitation to join him in a "business transaction" in his family mining business.

So spammers are attacking the forum from inside now?

Can the site team ban them ASAP?

    That's not really an appropriate option though when the spam is received via a personal message.
    I suspect that I received the same spam message as @Robin9.
    I could see by clicking on their profile from within the message that the sender has since been banned, but I couldn't find any easy way of reporting it to the MSE team (I now know to e-mail the team as per the above post, but as the message has now disappeared entirely I assume that this particular user has been removed from the system). .

    There's no 'spam/report' options on a message as there is if you wish to report a post made on the forum.

    Reporting it to the forum team was - of course - the first thing I did before posting it here...
