    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:



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

    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.

    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've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

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

    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

    Rest In Peace Casey (Bubba Dude) Your paw print will remain on my heart forever. 12/02
    Mollie Rose, you were there for me through good times and in bad, from the beginning.Your passing will leave a hole in my heart.We will be together "One Fine Day". 1994-2009
    MooShoo,you left me too soon.I wasn't ready.Know that you were my soulmate and have left me broken hearted.I loved you like no other. 1999 - 2010See you again "ONE FINE DAY"
    Maya Linn, my heart is broken. The day your beautiful blue eyes went blind was the worst day of my life.I only wish I could've done something.I'll miss your "premium" purr and our little "conversations". 1997-2013 See you again "ONE FINE DAY"

    DO NOT BUY WHILE SHELTER ANIMALS DIE!!
