Scam alert in Personal Message inbox!

Ignore me! My brain's in slow mode tonight! I've realised that the message that would have been in my GN inbox must have been deleted by HQ before the GN email came into my home email inbox IYSWIM.

Time for

I'm now because there was nothing from kings11me in my GN Inbox, but an email purporting to be from GN came into my home email Inbox.

Aha-I have just reached the bottom of "Active conversations" and all is now clear. Please ignore my "mystery messages" thread

obieone (and anyone else who is alarmed) My original post and the title of the thread are just warning you not to fall for the scam - the email itself can't do you or your computer any harm.

The sender has joined GN so that they can send a message to our GN mailboxes, not to our home computers or laptops. That much is perfectly OK for members - but not for them to try to scam us into giving them bank account details to "transfer the money to" (and then they would neatly transfer OUR money out)

They haven't got through our home security, or Gransnet security. DON'T WORRY

Oh no I got one and was just working out how to spend the money !!

It's nothing to do with personal security systems, obieone, the scammer has joined GN as a normal user would, as Lucy said, and has sent PMs to various members.

No one has hacked into any computer system.

I got one too, just now when I looked (but I've been doing other stuff this afternoon) logged on to see that it's been deleted.
Great fun if someone wants money from me....I left my wallet with cash and cards in a shop on Sunday. Realised yesterday, cancelled the cards. New ones will arrive tomorrow. Shops just contacted me to say that they found my wallet and have posted it back. Spect both new cards +!wallet will arrive on Thursday.

Til then, anyone want to lend me some money?

Thank you, it's gone.

obie the security on my PC is meant to be cast iron ...

Got one 10 mins ago, but was deleted immediately

Could it depend on a persons' computer security system?

Feeling left out again

I received one timed 15.39, deleted without opening.

I received one. I blocked the sender and deleted the message.

I received an Inbox email from kings11me today.

So, GNHQ please look into your anti-spam action again because how come if you said you had got rid of "it", are they still sending emails!

Me too. Reported it.

No need to leave, Flossieturner They don't have your home email address. They have joined GN as thlough they are ordinary members, and then sent you a message to your GN mailbox. You then get an automatic notification email from GN to the home email address you provided when you joined yourself. You read the message in your GN mailbox when you login, and if you are daft enough to reply, the reply goes from there.

No-one knows your home email (unless you disclose it to them yourself.)

I received one too

I have this too. Should we leave GN

Just about to post same warning Elegran....got same message. Have reported it.
