Spam in Private Messages

OH MY WHAT SHOULD I DO In my personal and my email..goodness!

 

Buy some brains..

EDIT: Sorry if that was too harsh. You couldn't possibly take that email seriously, COULD YOU?!?!

EDIT2-> "could"

 

hmmm are you attempting to be rude to me? lol
[edit:} of course not

 

To be honest, you have no chance getting that money, because I managed to take it last year. Only that time it was a guy, from South Africa, and his father died from something else.. YAWN!...

 

no I am not taking the letter serious ..I am amused that I have finally gotten spammed in my DP personal message..and email.

I posted with sarcasm in mind.

 

This reminded me of the day my girlfriend called me in panic to tell me she spoke to her grandma and she told her to get prepared because some idiot was talking on TV about an earthquake that was supposed to be happening at 4AM that morning.. GOD!..

 

Welcome to the millionaires club corena

 

Just got this.

 

I get a few a week, just foward it to a moderator.

 

Just report the name of the member. Mods here will ban the fellow.

 

I would really hate to be " poisoned to dearth "

 

That person has been banned- thank you!

 

Now, they've started attacking PMs on DP as well. You should immediately report it to the moderator, at least that user/spammer would be banned before he sends out more PMs.

EDIT: Looks like that guy is already reported and banned here http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=77061

 

That's funny...email spammers now targetting webmaster forums.

 

That is some good advice... hmmm HEY MODERATOR LOOK AT THIS!!!!

 

Is it again a sarcasm post.

:::::embarrassed:::::

 

I am sure Corena knows, How to handle this, very much than we do..

She doesnt need any advice, she is Know-it-all kinda






PS: Long Time no see, Corena?
Where have you been? Whats up?

 

Every time I get one of those, I reply from my spam bait account something along the lines of,

"Hello,

I would like to thank you for taking the time to extend this offer to me. However, I recently recieved a better deal from a Bank Manager in Lagos, Nigeria, who needs help retrieving $300 million dollars, from which I have been promised $30. All of my available funds are stop fucking spamming me currently tied up in this venture. If you would e-mail me again in a couple of weeks stop fucking spamming me perhaps I could be of some further service stop fucking spamming me to you.

Thank you for your time,

Fouku Spemmer"

I have actually gotten positive replies back. And I have recieved promises of plagues on my children, and death by fire ants eating my testicles, and other lovely things. If you provoke them, they are quite creative in what they try to call down upon you.

You have to wonder, for all the effort these guys put into it, how many people on average do you think fall for it?

 

Actually at first i did not notice it was Corena, that's why i was embarrassed.
