[url=http://www.bungie.net/7_gift/en/view/profile/index#!page=index&mid=4001640]This profile[/url] sent me this: [quote]Yesterday at 7:20:44 AM Hello! I looked through your profile and decided to write you a message to inform you that i am interested in knowing more about you. Regards Miss.....khadyabduah567@yahoo.com [/quote] I replied saying that I didn't give personal info to people I don't know, then Gift sent me this: [quote]Hello My Dearest, I am more than happy in your reply to my mail, how is your day today I hope all is well and good with you also your health and work. My name is Miss gift Abduah and 24 years old, single and never been married, I am from Sudan in Africa, but currently residing in the CHRIST THE KING FOR ALL CHURCH here in Senegal, Its just like one staying in the prison and I hope by Gods grace and with your help I will come out here soon. I don't have any relatives now whom I can go to all my relatives ran away in the middle of the war. The only person I have now is Rev. Franklin Donates who is the Reverend Minister in charge of the church in this camp ( CHRIST THE KING FOR ALL CHURCH).The pastors e-mail address is (franklindonatus@rocketmail.com) He has been very nice to me since I came here but I am not living with him rather I am living in the woman's hostel because the camp have two hostels one for men the other for women.The rev father number is (+221-7794-061-51). Feel free to call me through his number. If you call and tell him that you want to speak with me, he will send for me in the hostel. As a refugee here I don't have any right or privilege to any thing be it money or whatever because it is against the law of this country. I want to go back to my studies because I only attended my first year before the tragic incident that lead to my being in this situation now took place. Please listen to this, I have my late father's death certificate here with me which I will send to you latter,because when he was alive he deposited some amount of money in a leading bank in Africa which he used my name as the next of kin,the amount in question is $6,000,000:00 (six Six Million US Dollars). So I will like you to help me transfer this money to your account and from it we can travel to Europe and live there. I kept this secret to people in the camp here the only person that knows about it is the Reverend because he is like a father to me. So in the light of above i will like you to keep it to yourself and don't tell it to anyone for I am afraid of loosing my life and the money if people gets to know about it. Remember I am giving you all these information due to the trust I deposed on you.I like honest, understanding and God fearing people, truthful and a man of vision, and hardworking. My favorite language is English but our language is Nubian and Nilo-Hamitic but I speak English very fluently because both my father and mother studied in Europe. Meanwhile I will like you to call me like I said i have allot to tell you. I will give you 25% of the of the total money and also you will manage the rest of the money to invest in a good business in your country,till i finish my education. If agreed, I will like you to provide these information ; 1. Full Name; 2. Contact Address; 3. Telephone No. 4. Occupation; On receipt of your above personal information, I will give you the full information of the money and contact of the bank where the money is deposited for you to contact them for confirmation.Honey, this is what I am appealing to you to help me. I am really suffering here in the camp. Waiting for your urgent reply, Your lovely gift,[/quote] I stopped replying to this person and I really hope you guys don't give this person your email, or fall for this absurdity. I hope Bungie tries to get these people's IP blocked from this website so that some gullible person doesn't fall for this scam for some "damsel in distress". And seeing how there are soo many damn white knights in this forum, I'd hope Bungie drops the hammer on these people. Regards, GrandmasterNinja

  • I've been getting these weird PMs since 2008. Most are seem like dating site ads.

  • Yep, I got it, too. Just mute them. Responding probably wasn't the best call friend.

    • The ability for accounts to send and receive PM's is not a bug or a flaw in the site design. The content of those messages is up to the posting/sending account. There is no technology available that can prevent you from getting messages that you don't want. However, there are features in the system that allow you to appropriately respond and deal with unwanted content or messages. First off, since the original PM was a blatant and obvious attempt of spam and phishing, your choice to reply to the PM was your mistake. Instead, you could (and should) have simply clicked on the message-senders avatar and selected the "mute" option.
