Hit by a fraudster!

[Vshell]

Hi I've received a message on this community page from some guy trying to tell me he's an attorney and wants to transfer 17 million Euros to my bank from a long lost relative. Who do I contact to pass his details on and the 'legal' email he sent me. I would be very worried if an actual lawyer used such slang terms and poor grammar.

Thanks

Please send me a pm with the username and I will deal with it 😊

I am sorry these horrid people use this forum for such things

I also revived a message yesterday I thought was a bit suspect, they said they had something they needed to discuss with me urgently and to get in touch through email ! I just ignored it !

[Vshell in reply to SamStag]

Same guy? I was interested to see what the scam was. Reported it now. Horrible people to something like that on such a lovely helpful community.

[SamStag in reply to Vshell]

It's disgusting, theses tricksters will try anything. I am glad you reported it .

[IndigoBlue61]

Please always report anything suspicious, if it's a post or a reply then hit the v symbol and 'report'

If it's a pm then contact a member of admin.

It saddens me greatly that this wonderful forum is afflicted with such people 😕

Good on you for telling us all. ☺

Hi the best way to help prevent this is to lock your posts (and any replies) so most ot it stays in the community only instead of anywhere on the web. To do this click on 'community only' when you post. The default is set to 'everyone'

If you want to amend your post click on the little downward arrow, edit, amend post, then click on edit response. If it is locked a faint padlock will appear at the top of your post. x
