Scam alert!!

[Mike... 7]

Got it too. Someone is about to get banned.:DBy the way, I used the Alert link for this topic to alert the mods. In addition to what I said in that alert, the user responsible is "amanda abu" with user ID 155904.

>By the way, I used the Alert link for this topic to alert the>mods. Thanks Mike. :-) Perhaps there should be an alert link for PMs. Or is there and I'm just too dumb to see it?

Yeah could not be a more perfect example of the nigerian spoof, Ive had to deal with that many times on ebay myself.

He / she / it are now history. We will start to have to ban gmail addresses if this stuff keeps up.

Man, those Nigerians certainly get about :-wave I wish I'd kept all the different versions of these scam mails that I've received over the years, you could publish them together to make an amusing book :-)regardsGrahame

"We will start to have to ban gmail addresses if this stuff keeps up"I thought anonymous email addresses are banned already? GMail has the same anonymity as yahoo, msn or hotmail. Regards,John
