An unusual visitor message

[cassiesmom]

This was in my visitor messages twice. I just deleted them both. Did anyone else get this? I'd be happy to use eight and a half million dollars of someone else's money to do some good in the world, but this feels a little odd.

Thank you,
Elyse

My Name is Mrs Betty Jim from Unites State I want to tell you this because I don't have any other option than to say it, I married to Mr. Jim Benson who worked with Unites State embassy in Ghana for nine years before he died in the year 2005.We were married for eleven years without a child.
He died after a brief illness that lasted for only five days. Since his death I decided not to remarry, When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$ 8.5m (Eight Million Five hundred Thousand Dollars) in a bank in Accra the capital city of Ghana Presently this money is still in bank. He made this money available for exportation of Gold from Ghana mining.
Recently, My Doctor told me that I would not last 1 months due to cancer problem. I decided to hand you over this money to take care of the less-privileged people, you will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here.
Hoping to receive your reply: in my mailbox: [[email protected]]
From Mrs Betty.

Your PT Visitor Message???? How in the world could spam reach you there? I checked mine - nothing.

[Catty1]

The old Nigerian spam hoax thing...but how would it get into your visitor messages???

[Karen]

I deleted that user. People who are not yet approved to post can post "Visitor Messages" - just delete them, and PM me, and and I'll delete the user.

[Jessika]

From the "Unites State".... this seems completely legit!!!! ;)

[Freedom]

Yep I got that one. I reported it as spam so Karen could address the issue.

[smokey the elder]

I got the same one. How do I delete it?

[Karen]

I deleted it for you!

[Randi]

Elyse, I didn't get it, and I could use the money!! ;)

Well, I have noticed lately that there are a lot of "new members" with usernames such as these:


ui7y09q5d (http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/member.php?53988-ui7y09q5d),
ui9e09q9l (http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/member.php?53873-ui9e09q9l)


Karen, I sympathise with you. Is there a way you can prevent such "users" to even get on PT? I guess there isn't. :(

[smokey the elder]

Thanks, Karen!

We cannot prevent them from registering, but we do block spammers from actually being able to post, etc., I do that every day.

You should see the list of online users at 3 AM. More spambots than actual members.

LOL. Can I get a loan?

LOL. Can I get a loan?

No loans, I'd just give it away. If I really had come into $8.5 million, I'd put checks in the mail to PT'ers and their favorite shelters, charities and organizations in a snap. I know someone whose life was changed for the worse by a windfall.

I know Elyse. So many lives are ruined by winning millions in the lottery. I don't even play it.

[moosmom]

The biggest scam is the one that says a loved one (from their email) is out of the country, had his luggage and wallet stolen and to please send money.

I get that crap all the time. Just delete it!! If an email doesn't have a re: description, or I don't recognize the sender, I don't open it. I also go in and change all my passwords

Elyse, did you see? I got the same one, and I posted about it in General (see "I'm rich! I'm rich!" there).

We can share the wealth and distribute it to our PT friends and animal shelters and caretakers worldwide!

The recent Powerball jackpot was up over two hundred million dollars. I bought a ticket (didn't win, obviously) but it was fun to think about all the nice things I could do by sharing and distributing that kind of money.

[Catty1]

I always think of the good I would do with a big win - even a NOT so big win! :D
