I was all Excited

[SilentEyz]

Umm ok yeah excited was not the Word, But I was a little surprised when I logged in tonight to find that I had a message

*sigh* imagine my dissapointment when It was SPAM mail.. Yep, If I am willing to put up my own personnel money to help so and so come over to this country he will give me TEN percent of the 6 + million dollar lottery he has won, BUt Imagine my surprise he can't claim it there, but for a modest down payment he will allow me to help him obtain his money.. AWWW isnt that so sweet.

( insert southern accent here) I just feel so darn special right now that a member here wants to give me such a wonderful opprotunity in life (end accent)

I truly feel obliged to completly ignore such a lack of human intellagence..

But nahh that would be boring.. So any suggestions on how I should reply to this amazing offer ??

 

[hhayes]

what was the username and V can check it out and ban their IP if need be and you hopefully would not have to worry about that again. i myself would just ignore it. i've never had that happen to me hmmm...

 

[TheOriginalJames]

Give us a username and they'll get IP/name banned as soon as Vs gets on.

It was Koffi4love, I have the mail in my box, If need be.. He even asked me to respond to his private email.. hmm wonder why

It dont matter none, Can't control everyone, But truth be, I was not sure who to inform, still trying to figure out chain of command around here, But I wonder how many new members get this mail. But thanks.

 

[TheOriginalJames]

Yeah, if you could quote the PM and post it up, I'll throw it up in the uh... super secret mod lounge.

So was this a PM or actual Email? Regardless, he had to have gotten your email from this board... so if he did sign up he's going to be banned.

It was in my messages on this site, so yeah a PM. right there with my welcome letter from Alice. I just think you have to be kind of umm not so smart to join a forum group, and do this, but, it takes all kinds to make the world go around, kinda funny though, I just would have never expected it, but I know, you can't control what people will do. no harm, just a big foul on the idiots part. Maybe he/she/they figure people are more likely top trust them bcse of the membership thing or something, hard to say what they think,
