Has anyone else had a private message from someone claiming to be a US forces officer in Afghan? I know it's rubbish but wondered if anyone else has had this or how I flag it to management so they can remove his account.

At least he called me his beloved which is nice, ha!! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Yup I have already reported it to juju. And a few of us have got it. Maybe we should all respond saying we'd love to meet him if only he could send us 500$ for the airfare. As beloveds I'd expect no different!

I have a Facebook friend who gets friend requests from folks pretending to be US military types. It seems to be a bit of a thing.

I got a spam email once from someone claiming to be a widowed German businessman, who told me I was such a beautiful angel, and that he'd love to look after me. I hated to disillusion him that I was a 59 year old bloke!

Aww, I feel left out now. What's wrong with me, then? Am I not fast enough? Has he been reading my posts and decided I'm obviously in a committed relationship with myAsics' Nagging Nancy? Hmph. Sulking.
