Hi everybody. Does anybody has detected some "spam" users in Codeforces recently? If it's not the case, I think that the identity of users like "gift20" should be investigated.

Should be spam. I and two of my friends received the messages also.
Just now I find this mail in my inbox:
Hello, ymondelo20.User gift20 sent you a message.Click http://mirror.codeforces.com/usertalk to view it.The Codeforces TeamSCAMMER ???
That's probably a standard message from Codeforces about new inbox message.
No-no, there was an obvious spam — I received it too. In my case it was standard dull "_i am Miss Gift Ngasi; i saw your profile at this site and i will be happy to have a good relationship with you... thanks your new friend Gift_"
As always we may only wish that codeforces implement restriction for newly created accounts on spamming in blogs, comments and private messages...
I only wonder what are those extra-stupid spammers who annoy themselves with registering in such a specific resource as codeforces and spending their efforts here...
Has CodeForces taken any action already? I think so as I've got an email saying that I got a message from gift20, but there is no such message on my CodeForces talks.
You're the 1.000.000th visitor, congratulations!
gift31 now.
I received just the same message today. I really hope Codeforces will block such users like 'gift20'. This 'Miss Gift Ngasi' registered just 16 hours ago. I wonder what would actually happen if I gave 'her' my e-mail address :D
It's obvious, you would receive 1,000,000 €.
It's possible that then your e-mail address will be included into some e-mail lists for spam, and you will receive spam every day. Though, I don't know how the spammers work.
No, since it's not an spammer system... generally, these users are real people... which deceive people, with stories as a legacy, a company, or some like that, in which any number of money must be charged (very large) and he/she need your help (**case 1**). Or the classic case, tells you to be a very beautiful model, sends you photos (obviously from some fake email), to finally fall in case 1. LOL
I recieved such message too. It seem like they trying to get e-mails base or just spamming.
I also received message from that user. The message is following.
"Hello dear; i am Miss Gift Ngasi; i saw your profile at this site and i will be happy to have a good relationship with you, please email me back at my private email (gift.ngasi@yahoo.com) i will give you my photo and tell you more about me immediately i get your reply at (gift.ngasi@yahoo.com) thanks your new friend Gift "
I searched google with that email address and turned out it also spammed other websites.
same message. Gift20 should be banned
Well, I am in the same case:
Hello dear;
i am Miss Gift Ngasi; i saw your profile at this site and i will be happy to have a good relationship with you, please email me back at my private email (giftngasi@yahoo.com) i will give you my photo and tell you more about me immediately i get your reply at (giftngasi@yahoo.com) thanks your new friend Gift
User: giftbaby1 email: giftngasi@yahoo.com
IMPORTANT !!!
This user is online right now
A same message was sent to me half an hour ago from giftbaby1!
Well, what if we try spamming back? :) I mean, all of us could use CodeForces Talks to post a random message back (like just a bunch of text in some Asian language) making it difficult for spam users to search for meaningful information among received messages. This might obfuscate email addresses of actual victims if such exist. And spam users might doubt on continuing their 'hunt' due to large amounts of such 'feedback'.
