I got one too Radish. Another form of spam but the Nigerian type I would say, honey trap.

You have to laugh geomac.   Those scammers just don't realise that anyone with half a brain can see right through them.  The poor way the email is written would alert anyone that it is a scam.

I got one too, definitely would not touch it..... I'm not happy that my email address is out there for all the world to see, is there any way we can make our email addresses private on here? 

Your email address is not disclosed Deanna as it was via the PM system that you were contacted. YLC sends the PM on to you and all that the sender uses is your profile ie Deanna.

Yeah I got one too - "we" probably all did!  Geo. is correct Deanna - the "woman" is classifying the YLC PM system as - email!  Just her bad choice of wording ......  :-)

I got one too.....we are going away for the weekend together.

lol - cute !

looks like we may be, K,G, i just opened one to and wondered how they had got my email address,    but glad to hear they havent,   they want pictures to,  maybe a porn ring, lol lol,   must be going bad if they want photos of my old body,    even i dont want to look at it, lol lol,  

You be very careful kfc. I will chaperone you as some women are not to be trusted with such a georgeous bloke :)

Thanks Phyl.....obviously I was only joking. I sent her some nude pics of myself and told the police to look for a woman projectile vomiting.

I found this on the www.

"My Darling please copy the bank email address here and contact them as
soon as you read this mail, tell them you are my trusted partner and
you want to know the possibility in transferring my late father money
into your account OK, And after the transaction you will now send me
some money from it to enable me come over there to start back a new
life with you and invest all the money together and also further my
study, Please honey make sure you send an email to the bank today

worry just copy their email address and contact them today for the
transfer,

please take a very good care of your self for me,
With love and caring from your sweetheart to be in life forever,

Anita "

If you received a similar letter, please ignore it. Do not answer it. If you do, you will end up on more of the mailing lists used by the criminals behind this fraud. Read more....

The scammers that send these fraud letters are criminals. They want your money, and they use force to get it, if that is necessary. You should never travel to meet a scammer!
When they get annoyed, they will send you threatening letters. The threats are probably empty, but it shows what kind of people these criminals are.

Thanks for that Gerry, very interesting. Since so much is known about these scoundrels I wonder why they don't arrest and charge them?

Hi all,

User was banned and deleted and email address blocked. Always a new type of spam and this is the first i've seen via PMs. Looks like they are getting smarter. 

Thanks to everyone who reported/emailed in. 

Cheers,
Drew
