Anybody else received this private message?

GNHQ It would be much easier all round if there was a 'report this PM button within the PM system.

DH says the old age and treachery will always outmanoeuvre youth and enthusiasm. This thread is showing what a canny lot we are.

I think its block ALL messages from this person.

Apricity i don’t think you’re correct I used the block sender by his name I ve had a pm from another member since so don’t appear to have blocked everybody I hope not anyway
Carigransnet can you confirm this please

It won't be long before you are asked for money because his son has an almost terminal illness, he needs to put his mother into care, he has a wonderful once-off investment opportunity, he's going to fly to England to meet you but has a temporary cashflow problem… Of course, if you don't reply and get hooked – and gransnetters are much to wily for that – he'll move on to somewhere else. As my mother used to say, "It's no good growing old unless you become cunning".

Muffin, you're just not old enough! ?

SueDonim, it seemed to be that way when I tried. Happy to have help if anyone else has worked it out.

I didn’t get one, I’m absolutely raging!

Oh, is that so, Apricity? I assumed I was just blocking this one person.

Have just realised that the only 'message block' option on GN is to block ALL private messages. There is no option to block specific senders. People may wish to receive private messages from some people but to block others for a range of reasons but this is not possible.

Yes, I also received a much shorter message (clearly I'm not quite so interesting ?) but from the info provided by MOnica it is from the same person. First time this has happened on GN. Ignored message but thank you for the heads up MOnica.

Gransnet over to you to weed out this intruder.

Me too. I replied happily married. oh dear perhaps I shouldn't have answered. I didn't think of blocking ?. will do now.

I had a similar message, too! Damn-it, I'll have to go and unpack my suitcase now.

No, I haven't received it either.

I got one too. I reported it to GNHQ and they said it was being dealt with.

It must be some poor loser somewhere with nothing better to do.

Me neither. (Could it have beeen that rather potent curry I had for supper?)

Damn! I didn’t get this ( goes off in a huff.)

I feel rather slighted.
I haven't got one.

He’s not very inventive our Tom he s sent the exact same message to all the ‘chosen few’ he could have made it a bit more personal
Think I ll put a complaint in

The latest one is an orthopaedic surgeon. He's contacted lots of us Twitter ladies. You'd think they might spot the various tweets laughing at them. (Flashes devastating smile to GNers sobbing in the corner!)

I'm devastated at missing out!!!

Its funny how they think that the hook to get us in is to say they work in the oil and gas industry or are military.

However, growing up in an army family and with a husband working as an engineer in the oil and gas industry (more recently wind industry). I know just how ordinary awkward and inconvenient these jobs are. Now if he had said he was an accountant or a worked for a bank, he might have stood a chance.

I can smile...honest, it's lovely.
Pick me! Passport ready.
Alas I am not favoured as sadly I had no message.

Some of us have a lovely smile and some of us are sobbing..... next one in needs to bring their own chair.

The corner is getting overcrowded. I'm in too.
