Hello Everyone,
I am new here, but that didn't stop me from getting two of these private messages in my in box. Please read this very nice, and strangely worded email from the notorious Miss Joram Laban, the Saharan dating scammer.

Hello Dear ,
My name is Miss joram laban, I got your contact at Wrong Planet and I pick interest in knowing you & being friendly with you . I would appreciate if we get acquainted as soon as possible, you can reach me through my private e-mail address so that we can get to know each other better.

My e-mail (

I quite believe that we can start from here since it takes one to know someone. I want you to understand that race or distance does not matter but loving and caring matters a lot in life. I look forward to hear from you soonest.

Yours true love,
joram,

Yes, if the world only worked that way we could all live in such beautiful harmony. I got two of these within 5 minutes of eachother. I bet many other members have gotten these pms. I suggest not responding. Please google Joram Laban for more information if needed.

After one post, it sounds like a big load of something.
