Hit FLAG and that will report the message. I've gotten two of these recently.

·2 weeks agoIf you are using a desktop browser and looking at the message from a member, the three dots should be in the upper right corner of the message pane.

adamcartwright
·2 weeks agoIt's not those three dots. It's the lower ones next to the account name just above the message text.
If you send me a DM, I'll screenshot where to find it.
