Something just happened that positively freaked me out. It may have just been a coincidence, but I'd like to know what your opinions are, because I'm really spooked.
Quite a while back, on these very forums, I received a PM from someone known as "turing":

Now, before you say it, I know what you're thinking. This guy was probably just plugging his stupid site on me. Maybe he did it to other people. Has anyone gotten the same message from this person?
Anyway, just a few minutes ago, I noticed I had a PM on kirupa.com's forums. I opened it, and lo and behold:

At first I thought it merely looked familiar; it's been a while since I received the first one. But then something struck me and I checked the old PM I got a long time ago. Same guy. I realize he could be doing this on a lot of sites, but both times he PMed me. Both times this happened I was inactive on the forum in question as well and happened to stop by on a whim. He would have had to have picked me out from the massive member lists on both forums, as my name wouldn't have been on the online users list. It also seems like if it was happening to more people he would have been reported (I noticed he hasn't been banned on either site, so either no one's reported him or no one knows about him).
What do you guys think? Is it just a coincidence? Is this some kind of scam/regular internet occurrence that I should know about? Or is something very wrong happening here?
