I got the exact same message yesterday, also from fify05. Her profile says she joined just yesterday, so I figure she came back?

I got something like that in my message box here at wp like four months ago.
Some "lady" claiming to be enthralled by my profile and eager to start a relationship.
I figured that "she" must be a gang of men from Nigeria.
Just ignored it. Finnally deleted it.
Wished I had officially reported it.
Never got around to that.
But did post about it and freaked out some fellow WP'ers who were grateful for the heads up.

These people need to be less subtle now as we have figured out their strategy. Please notice that this social understanding that we people have achieved is due to drill and not perhaps through the intuitive mechanism that NTs apply.

I checked and swity850 was banned - I imagine someone else also complained about them :)
