smells like the beginning of a scam, how many of you got the same PM here on the site?
Hello friend,
I'm Miss sonia by name.I saw your profile here and found you worthy to be my friend, as someone whom i can lay on his arms as long as friendship & love is concern, caring and loving all the way. If you are interested in knowing more about me and for me to send you some pics of mine, i will like you to reply me with my private email address here ([email protected]) i believe we can move from here. Remember the distance or colour does not matter but love matters alot in life.
Yours Love

Yep give the username to hobbs (and IP if possible) so they can be banned, we cleaned a bunch of that crap out from the old xbox site. Not to smart most of em, got one telling me how sexy I look in my profile shot?????? Guess pics of XBOXs turned her on They come in droves Ive been getting reports of this on the old site too. And if they happen to email you as well via the site record the email address and pass it along as well so it can be banned and cant be used to create an account.

I get hit up with a lot of scams, but have a good eye for them and always catch them right off. Craigslist is real bad. They hit the job postings pretty hard, Looks like a legit job but then they want your personal info over the net for the scam. Take advantage of a lot of people just looking for honest work.
I have been hit up with that one.
The old Prince from Africa scam.
The one where you post a vehicle for sale and they send you way over asking price in counterfeit checks that you cash at bank, keep your price for the vehicle and give the rest to the "CURRIER" that comes to pick up the vehicle. Then you are out a vehicle and the bank calls you wanting the money back. I told them I knew it is a scam and to F*** off. and they.
still sent me a bunch of counterfeit checks lol.
My aunt almost fell for one last week, someone called her claiming to be her grandson, He calls from Mexico and says "Hi Grnadma", She says .. "Nick?" He says "Ya grandma, its me Nick" says he is in Mexico because a friend gave him a ticket for a vacation as a gift, says he is in a bit of trouble and needs some money blah blah blah.... Then the connection is lost. Good thing because she probobly would have gave here credit card number... She calls her grandsons house number to talk to someone there to see what is going on and guess who answers the phone, Nick.
Those scams are big during spring break, punks find mingle with the college kids, steal phones and call parents claiming to be a police officer or a doctor, stating the kid is in a medical emergency and they need funds asap to do a surgery or for Bail or something.
