someone spamming??  maybe they got the boot for doing so?

doesn't the person need to go to my home page to write note?

does this sort of thing happen time to time? just delete and forget?

anyone else get the same?

Cut to the chase: You sending off a few thousand dollars to aid this Nigerian "damsel" in distress.

Or so "she" hopes!

--and yes, some here get the same junk. There was a funny thread with one member getting targeted quite a lot.

Those are scam messages. Please don't ever reply to them. Our filter detects them and closes the account of the sender.

LOL, I play dominoes on a game server and get messages like that one all the time!

and thanks chess.com for giving them the boot before I noticed the message

you can still send your money to me. No reason, I won't give you anything, but you can.

no business proposal? 

no 5 million that you need to wire into my account and need all my info for?

you don't have a client in Nigeria with my name who died and left millions to next of kin with my name?

I don't know

I only send my info and money orders to the good scams with unbelievable, too good to be true stories

you don't even have a lucky rock to sell me?

Avatar of wishiwonthatone

No. All that is too much work and dishonest. I'm choosing the unique and straightforward "no gimicks" approach: "Just give me your money". Hasn't worked yet, but then this is all the marketing I've done to date. I'm kind of lazy. But trust me, I'll spend your money foolishly. Send it today.

How can I unlike a weblog so I don't receive any more posts from the weblog?
