Hey all, I just checked my PM and there was a post from someone who was talking about their father who was assasinated on his way to work, but, he left this person 6million bucks. blah blah blah... This person asked to send an email to personal email and was talking about me managing this 6 million bucks for him (It was going to be his/her only chance of survival). So, obviously this is one of those scams that people will fall for. Just wanted to give people a heads up and ask if there is anything that can be done about this.
Thanks.

Report those to a moderator when you receive them and we will try to get an administrator to block that user ASAP. Be sure to forward the username.

Thanks for the heads up. BFT also has a free Email service for all users and I received one just like that over a year ago, looks like they have moved on to using the PM feature[frown]. [#ff4040]This is with out a doubt a scam.[/#ff4040] As Kent said, please send one of us a PM with that user info. Thanks again for your help in this matter. WH2
