Strange Messages.

I received a message from an Amine Singh. She wants some type of relationship. She has no photos or no gallery to look at??

Crap. And I thought I was special! LOL I got it, too.

yes, relationship with your money or credit card.

Well bummer I have yet to get a message from her. I guess I am not special enough for such message.

Hilda - no worries.

For a mere private email address (yours/mine - because that is what they really want) she/he will send you/me a special private photo of themselves. I passed. I might suggest if you are new to this site, that you too ***ignore*** that person - and not reply - seriously :)

Why is there no way to report spam messages? There should be. Also, there's a tab called Block List but I don't see any easy way to add this person to that list. Any chance we could get Report Spam and Add to Block List buttons in our message window?

Crista, just private message one of the moderators.

There was an obscene blog posting once in Spanish. I read Spanish and I happened to stumble on it, so I emailed Abbie and she deleted it within a few minutes.

There is also the scam and spam thread where I reported it and I think one or two others had at the time as well.

@ Crista - I added that person to my blocked list. Go to "Block..." type in the first name and two names come up; choose the correct one and enter. They will be blocked.

Edit - I wish there was an easier way to block someone rather than having a separate tab where we have to type a name into the field, but for now, that's all we got :(

I just delete those. They get found out rather quickly by the staff here and their account gets deleted.

There was one persistent spammer about a year ago, that kept opening accounts. I think finally after their account was closed about 3 times, they gave up.

Mary - You're right - delete is the best way and I do remember the persistent spammer who wanted an intimate relationship with every/any one.

It boggles the mind - well, maybe just mine.

She also was married to the president of Bolivia and need help moving their hidden millions out of the country. If you just give her your bank information she give you a few thousand for helping.

I just tried to add that name to my block list and it said no results found. So I guess that account has been deactivated already?

I just got my second one from her today! I'm glad that I just ignored it, cause I hate to slight someone who just wants a friend!

 

Josh Brnjac

9 Years Ago

Yes same! Her account has been removed.
Let's hope she doesn't make another one!

I feel left out - I did not get the message :(

Was she at least offering to transfer a trillion US dollars into your account if you gave her your routing and account number? :)

She got deleted.. Lol, I got excited for a minute. I thought I had a new friend!

I got her message on another art site--asked her which works was interested in....she didn't answer...and refused my weekend retreat invitation.

I had a similar experience - I alerted FAA, letting them know that his account had no images and perhaps he was here just to "phish".
They deleted his account.
