Anyone else had a creepy private message from Steven or am I the chosen one ?

I've had some emails but not from Steve and not on GN but my security system on mobile filters them into spam.
Have any GN ladies got security systems on their phones? They're invaluable for scanning malware, files, removes threats, theft, tracing and you can configure to scan daily, weekly or manually.
Helps to keep your mobile clean.

I got one but his name isn't Steve ....I just deleted him .

Thank you GN for your message.

Nonnie I just get what our AC tell me to!!!! That way they can usually sort out any problems I have (even the GC help)
I am a technophobe, I even replaced myself at work when our computer system got updated!!!!

Well I can’t delete it from my posh device either! It doesn’t bother me though as I’ve now blocked him.

Nonnie Sun 28-Apr-19 12:14:56

Sorry GG13 I'm one of those poor thrifty pensioners who has an android phone and a kindle so have not idea what posh devices do grin

Nonnie I have either an iPhone or iPad (Mr Gravy has forgotten his passwords for lap top so consequently it is awaiting the repair man).

Nonnie Sun 28-Apr-19 10:21:18

GG13 I don't seem to be able to do it from my phone but easy on the laptop.

Nothing from him for me; at least he isn't bi-.

SarahGransnet I am still unable to delete any PMs......any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Please make sure to report these as soon as you get them - they are spam. We have blocked any that have been reported.

He must be playing Words with Friends because I get messages calling me pretty lady too!

tinaf1 Sun 28-Apr-19 09:10:10

My message was by email which I had option of going to gransnet site or open in my inbox, now you have mentioned this Gabrielle 54 . How would they get my email address?

BlueBelle Sun 28-Apr-19 08:47:27

BradfordLass72 I don’t have a bar of soap ! but he targeted me for my ‘pretty profile’ although I don’t have a profile ??

No message from Steven, have to give him full marks for trying.
Getting yourself a rich old lady to pay for you to come to this country must be high on the list of some young African gentlemen.

BradfordLass72 Sun 28-Apr-19 07:10:26

I'm feeling quite left out - no word from ol' Stevie in my Inbox.

But maybe he only targets those people who talk about their European holiday homes, antiques or re-designed kitchens, and doesn't want a bar of someone like me who rents a charity house!!! grin

Or maybe he's come across a Yorkshire women before. Hee hee grin

Words fail me ?

Nannytopsy Sun 28-Apr-19 06:56:14

GabriellaG54 they come as GN PMs. There are icons at the bottom which let you report ( an exclamation mark) and block the sender ( a person with a line through).

GabriellaG54 Sun 28-Apr-19 02:13:55

As I haven't had any they must be running scared. That, or they think that other GNers are easier to fool. winkgrin

GabriellaG54 Sun 28-Apr-19 02:08:38

Are these PMs sent to you via the GN website or are you talking about emails?

DanniRae Sat 27-Apr-19 20:45:23

To report dodgy messages send an email to: [email protected]

Oops Mr not Mar

BlueBelle Sat 27-Apr-19 20:30:44

We now have three threads on Mar Steve?

BlueBelle Sat 27-Apr-19 19:12:12

Quite the little harem collector Do all these blokes sitting in Nigeria think we are gullible I too had a ‘pretty profile’ but don’t have a profile at all so he is a clever sod is our Mr Steve

ninathenana Sat 27-Apr-19 18:55:51

Nannytopsy Sat 27-Apr-19 18:52:59
