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?

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

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?

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

Me too. Does anyone ever fall for such nonsense?

Brilliant Sago.

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

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 .

Me too !

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

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 !

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

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.

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

I’ve just had one from this moron !!

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

How do we report / block him?

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

Another one here. Blocked and reported.

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

Yes I just had one and blocked him.

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

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

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

Yes I’ve received one and blocked him

dragonfly46 Sat 17-Dec-22 23:08:05

I got a PM from the rev!

Delila Sat 17-Dec-22 22:59:58

Greyduster, does that mean you’ll be after a double share of the dosh?

Youngest D’s godfather (also a Chris) has recently retired as a Canon of another cathedral which I won’t name (in case he crosses me off his gold bars list)

Oh, not our friend Chris?
That would be a coincidence!

He didn't mention anything about gold or a fortune waiting for him when I saw him in Tesco recently grin

Greyduster Sat 17-Dec-22 12:08:50

I had two from him; obviously anxious to get his message across!

Chocolatelovinggran Sat 17-Dec-22 12:06:51

Oh thank you everyone for making me laugh this morning.. Sago, you'll let us know how much you receive, won't you ?

LadyHonoriaDedlock Sat 17-Dec-22 12:01:31

I did a wee start at the title, it made me think of my old schoolfriend and sometime drinking companion Chris (who was rather flamboyantly gay in the sixth form even though that word was never said out loud, so nobody made much of me drinking with him. (Anybody from King's Lynn here? I'd better lay off some of the more lurid tales just in case anybody recognises who I'm talking about). He surprised everybody when he said he was going to train to be a vicar. Anyway, being of the fiery handbag persuasion with full bells he styled himself Father Chris more often than Rev Chris. I lost touch after he moved to Lynn but he seems to have had a successful career and retired recently as an Hon Canon of Norwich Cathedral.

But this doesn't sound at all like my Chris, who I'm quite sure would have been sound and reliable in all things.

I got one a while ago that was deleted before I read it so I was most confused

Then I got this one too

Yay me
