It was reported by a number of users who got PMs. Account has been banned.

Those Nigerian prince messages are almost always a scam. I know because the nice Nigerian princess I've been chatting with told me people are always trying to impersonate her brother. I'll be able to give you more details next month when she comes to visit me. I sent her money for her plane ticket last week.



:mrgreen:

I've had my bank account emptied out six times by this scam. Yeah, I know it's a scam. But what if this time, it's really a goddamn Nigerian Prince? Then I'll be rich! It's a gamble I'm willing to take!

No, I'm going to pass on that one. I just don't have a good feeling.
