Lucca I thought he’d only written to me. Has the money arrived in your account yet? I’m still waiting patiently since I provided the Rev Morgan with my bank details. I’m sure the money will be in my account by morning ?

Yep, straight from a certain West African country, no doubt!

I hope you have blocked him and reported the PM, before someone is naive enough to respond. GNHQ will delete his account.

I’ve had it, too.
Nice try, Mr Scamster! (Though actually a pretty rubbish try, I can’t imagine who’s going to fall for that.)

The internet has certainly opened up to all the cranks !

It's best not opening these pm's or you leave yourself wide open to fraud. When you don't know a sender, delete and hope you've got a good virus protector.

Deleting isn't enough. Reporting means GNHQ will delete the account.

I was about to complain that I didnt have one, and then there it was. It will be handy for Christmas.

It probably comes from Nigeria.

I hope GNHQ will start a thread telling us the account has been deleted and warning all posters about the possibility of scam accounts.

The brass nerve of the scumbags that do this never fails to disgust me.

HQ have posted on another thread saying that they will be contacting people affected by it. We have three threads on this, which causes even more confusion.

We used to get lots of pleas by letter from nurses in Nigeria wanting to work in the uk. The stamps were lovely and as I collect stamps for the air ambulance it was win win.

I had four private messages from James too, but I didn't open them, just deleted them.

Thanks for letting me know what he said, Lucca
I missed out on a big financial opportunity there.
