For the first time here, I’ve gotten a message from a member who joined yesterday (…maaaybe) that I can earn some fantastic amount of money if I just click here. This is a scam that was popular at Bubblews, usually framed as something passed on to the poster by her/his neighbor’s second cousin’s mother-in-law or something. The English is garbled in this message. I’ve sent a message to the admins and blocked the spammer, but I thought I’d put this out there as well.

I got a similar can of spam in a message tonight when I got online. I'm sure the admins will quickly fry this spammer and get rid of him for us.

I suspect you're right. One of the reason I stay here.

Well, that would be a bad thing, I am glad you told the people at myLot about it, and reported it.

@Telynor This particular scam is so well-known I have to wonder if anyone falls for it. But then, I guess people still fall for the Nigerian scam.

@msiduri Very! I get it in my regular email, despite the spamblocker, and it's on Facebook, and now here. I hate spoofers.

Ir's crazy how many scam artists are out there and even crazier how many people fall for it.

I hope so. They're like hydras. But GoAskAlice offers good advice: We can change our preferences to accepting messages only from people we follow.
