I've had a PM from someone I don't know, claiming to be a priest wanting funding. It is a SCAM. He calls himself King11

I've had a couple of PMs offering job opportunities. Scammers have a tendency to target the "older crowd" because they believe there is a higher chance of engagement. I just report and move on. I never engage them.

I wouldn't ever engage with anyone like that, either. I've reported, blocked and deleted the message.

Several threads running about this poster - he keeps trying his luck, but doesn’t seem to realize we are all wise to him.
