I just wanted to let everyone know someone just tried to scam me by the name of karenlo44. if you get a message dont send her an email because 'she' lives in 'west africa' is supposedly 'in love with me' and wants me to fly her over with all my money and that 'all her family are dead'.

, did not ask for this, and definately do not need. PLEASE KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR YOURSELVES.

I just heard from that stupid woman ...how sad! I didn't want to be rude, and so I tried to politely tell her i would speak to her on here, but not through private email. People like her make me cross ...trying to exploit people like that :evil:

It's best to just completely ignore the scammers PMs. Do not reply in any way. I have linked this thread to the moderators' thread so hopefully they will be able to stop this scammer. Unfortunately few, if any forums are immune to scammers but all you have to do is report them and they will be given their marching orders!

On the forums list, scroll down to the bottom. There is one called 'Wrongplanet.net discussion'. In there, it has a thread specifically to report things like this. I've done it this time but if it happens again this is what to do
