Good morning, was rather thrilled to get my first private message last night....someone asking for a date / relationship?!!grin.
I've reported it but just wondered if anyone else has had the pleasure!!

I had a PM here when I first joined...Andrew Someone or Other? Just wrote "hello", I blocked and deleted. (shrug)

Didn't realise until this afternoon. I had that message too. I've deleted it.
I've had strange calls to my mobile today too, from Latvia, Estonia and Somalia. They triggered the spam alert on my phone. Needless to say, I didn't answer them.

I got one ... but am clearly not Miss Mariam’s target audience...

BlueSky Fri 24-Jan-20 16:58:55

Thanks Eligran so was she looking for romance? wink

NanKate Fri 24-Jan-20 16:27:56

I was one of the chosen few.

So why didn't I get the PM? I am qualified in one respect at least.

Bluesky they join Gransnet just like everyone else. Anyone can join, and any member can send a private message. If the message is an unsuitable one, report it - they will then find that they are no longer a member, and they won't be accepted again!

Oh I m blonde but not loved this time ? don’t worry Monica we can cry into our porridge together

Charleygirl5 Fri 24-Jan-20 15:57:52

I have not had one for many weeks. I am sure I was missed out because I have had the lurgy and it is still around- she possibly did not want to catch it. I also am the wrong sex- oh dear- not a lot I can do about that.

M0nica Fri 24-Jan-20 15:49:31

Why didn't I get one, didn't I match up? I am not usually left out in the cold! sad grin

boheminan Fri 24-Jan-20 12:29:58

3nanny6 I've got red hair and didn't get a message either sad oh dear...

SANDY2020 Fri 24-Jan-20 12:23:14

Lol I'd just send a smiley face and a wink saying no thanks too much effort required I'm lucky if u shave my legs and wash my hair for my own self worth at this point in life nevermind anyone else!!!!!!! Thank god u cannot picture message or have photos youd all be very dissatisfied I'm sure!!!!!

I've just reported Miss Mariam, a 29 year old girl from France looking for a man! She must be desperate to use a website for mostly old ladies.

3nanny6 Fri 24-Jan-20 12:04:48

Oh missed out again and I thought they said blondes always have more fun, perhaps I will go red and see how I get on.

janeainsworth Fri 24-Jan-20 11:58:43

Perhaps we should all bombard Mariam with short, two word emails?

Dee1012 Fri 24-Jan-20 11:48:26

NatashaGransnet.....thank you.

BlueSky Fri 24-Jan-20 10:54:45

Thanks Natasha

Hi all - we've sorted this for you all now! smile

BlueSky, a user must be registered on Gransnet to send a PM, but if you ever receive any dodgy messages, please do let GNHQ know so we can take action.

BlueSky Fri 24-Jan-20 10:50:46

So anybody can send you a private message? Surely only people on GN? confused

kittylester Fri 24-Jan-20 10:44:53

Missed out again!

Greyduster Fri 24-Jan-20 10:32:35

I had that - twice! Thought she must be desperate!

Dee1012 Fri 24-Jan-20 10:25:42

Haha....no point in me visiting M&S for some lacy knickers then!!

MawB Fri 24-Jan-20 10:23:46

At long last -I got one too!
But clearly her language skills have missed that this is a site for grandparents, the majority of them female hmmhmm

SueDonim Fri 24-Jan-20 10:20:55

I had one, as well! Unfortunately, ‘Mariam’ seemed to think I am a man, so I had to disappoint her. grin
