How Stupid Can Someone Be

Okay, you'll want to make sure you're not eating or drinking anything - wouldn't want to replicate one of those bad comedy skits where you spit/spray it across the desk to your monitor ...

Get this! I just got a scam spam email in my WPW PM Inbox!! What kind of idiot thinks this is a good move? Have they already been banned in every other online market that they've had to resort to attempting to PM members in a professional (losely used term to account for we nuts!) forum.

I don't think it would be professionally or politically correct to tell you that the members name is ulum22, so I will simply tell you to be on the look out for a message entitled "DEAREST ONE," with all caps and the text of the message is all caps too.

Recommended course of action would be to contact Site Admin (Mike, Rah, Jeremy, etc).

The answer to your question...
"How Stupid Can Someone Be"
there is no limit to the stupidity of some people! :o)

I sent a message/warning - thanks!

I love these idiots thinking other people are as ignorant as them:

The girl claims to be from the Ivory Coast, lists her location (in profile) as Dennis TX USA and has her email account via Yahoo UK ... yeah, where and how do I send you all of the information you need ... here's the RTN to the Dept. of Treas ... try that :)

Ditto. I didn't take the time earlier to report it, but figured that someone else would since I was sure I was not the only one to get that SPAM.

Sort of reminded me of a Nigerian scam email with even more confusion to it.

I bet it's even dumb spelled "DUM".

Will one of you send me this private message that you recieved? I was unaware of this going on, and I'll try to correct this problem.

Thanks,
Rah

Raf - I sent an email to jmuncy@... yesterday, but realize that probably has a large load - I did a cut/paste of the message (with headers) into a PM to your box; thanks for looking out for us!
