I got a pm from a scammer around 7:30 this morning saying something about a $5 million deal from Ghana.
It wanted me to send a return confirmation for the pm (I didn't know you could even do this) but I had to kill my browser in order to not click the confirmation, there was also an email address to reply to.
Anyways, I just got back and the pm is no longer in my inbox, I din't write down the user name or anything but he had 0 posts.
Wondering if the Admins where aware of this and deleted the pm?
Anyone else get one?
 
damn scammers, I guess they're everywhere
 
Wow I got to check that out. Just thinking of what I could do with $5 million. I could even hire out my Bee restoration & maybe put a Hemi in it. Thanks for the tip, Im on it.

Yea no kidding, Joey deleted my pm before I could get ahold of the guy.
I'd be stacking Hemi's up like chord wood with 5 mil.

Someone with some computer knowledge told me that if I get boxed in on something like that; go to the Task Manager (ctrl+alt+del). Then highlight the offending item and press End. I don't know if that applied to your situation, just something that might be useful in the future.

By the way, don't you feel special? Out of all the millions of people on this planet YOU were selected to receive that special offer.
 
If you put the spammers into the fields, like you use the sh*t for, then they could do some good!
 
I'm all for the US Marines heading over to Africa, and blowing the crapola out of Nigeria, Uganda and Somalia.....would solve a lot of the world's woes in a short time :)

It's actually ctrl+ shift+esc win 7 and later and that's how I killed it.
Your still in win Xp or earlier.
