Look what appeared in my PM

These scams usually have spelling mistakes, dodgy grammar - and try to hook you in by offering you something.

If only all scams were as easy to spot as this one.

Yes, I got one too, with only the title, message already deleted 'at user's request'?

Poor chap, all this money and he can’t even give it away!!

That was a joke BTW.

I was lucky enough to receive 2 messages from Rev Morgan but they had been deleted by the time I found them!

Thanks Marydoll

Open the PM and at the top of it on the left hand side, is a report button.

For future reference ladies how do I report a spam email to GNHQ? I deleted and blocked the Rev Morgan but I couldn’t figure out how to report it

Don't EV! They have probably realised that we are not to be messed with! ?

I'm feeling very left out

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.

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 was one of the chosen too !!! Reported and deleted.

Well I m still not being donated any money I m a lost cause ???

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.

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

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

It probably comes from Nigeria.

I had one and reported.

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

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

I got it too! Hope Gransnet can trace the source and put a stop to this.

Same message deleted.

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.

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.)
