Has anyone else had a message from this person?

He can sell me gold and also wants me to help him reclaim $14.5m deposited in my country. He'll share it with me but I only get 30% 🙂

Am I the only lucky one?

Buttercup19 Sat 17-Dec-22 23:14:11

Yes I’ve received one and blocked him

GrauntyHelen Thu 21-Mar-24 23:26:40

My RevChris had two 1s I offered him exorcism for his demons

Moonwatcher1904 Thu 21-Mar-24 23:30:20

Yes I just had one and blocked him.

Cabbie21 Thu 21-Mar-24 23:30:22

Another one here. Blocked and reported.

DeeAitch56 Thu 21-Mar-24 23:41:47

How do we report / block him?

Fair2good Thu 21-Mar-24 23:41:53

I’ve just had one from this moron !!

Fair2good Thu 21-Mar-24 23:43:12

Surely if this has been going on since 2022 the management of this site ought to be able to do something their end. Pathetic in this day and age.

I've just had a message from him a few minutes ago. I won't be helping him with his gold.

I read the flaming thing only because I thought with it being nearly Easter, it would be related. Need my head examining as I’m obviously losing the plot. And it’s way past my bedtime too !

Tenko Fri 22-Mar-24 00:51:42

Yes received one today and blocked him .I’ll report him as well

Esmay Fri 22-Mar-24 05:10:13

Me too !

Esmay Fri 22-Mar-24 05:18:39

His email address includes Ashanti so I'm presuming that he's from Ghana .

Here's my open message to him :

How much better to get wisdom than gold , to get insight rather than silver .
Proverbs 16.16 .

Brilliant Sago.

Will there be enough for us all to have a share?

Aveline Fri 22-Mar-24 06:16:30

Me too. Does anyone ever fall for such nonsense?

BigBertha1 Fri 22-Mar-24 06:23:32

I just got a PM from this berk too! Do we just delete it or let admin know about it?

Curtaintwitcher Fri 22-Mar-24 06:34:14

Yes, I was one of the honoured ones. Read it and deleted.

Greyduster Fri 22-Mar-24 06:34:52

Me too!

JCFrance Fri 22-Mar-24 06:36:09

Just received and deleted this morning. Sorry I don’t know how to report.

OurKid1 Fri 22-Mar-24 07:43:30

Me too this morning. Reported and blocked.

petra Fri 22-Mar-24 07:48:35

Oh no 😱 are you saying it’s a scam? I’ve just sent him my email 😩

Greenfinch Fri 22-Mar-24 07:54:23

Just seen my message from him sent just before midnight .Will block and report.

Urmstongran Fri 22-Mar-24 07:55:45

Same here Greenfinch.

JollyJilly Fri 22-Mar-24 07:57:42

Just received the message this morning, I have reported it and blocked the sender. How on earth did it manage to even get on the forums, should Gransnet be monitoring these kind of things, he must have got our email addresses from this website. I think it is time to close my account as security is very poor.

Reubenblue Fri 22-Mar-24 08:02:39

Yes, in the middle of the night. I didn’t open it and blocked the sender.

Iam64 Fri 22-Mar-24 08:12:04

Yes, I’ve reported and deleted
