Thanks for the heads up AskAlly. I for one appreciate the information, whenever there is a spammer among us.

Sorry to have to post it again. But he keeps annoying me and I don't know how many others. Plus his/her identity changes. I know most of us are aware of this type of scam. But look at the number of posts we still get from mylotions that are asking if they really won something.

I don't think I have come across this chappie before ... but I shall be looking out for him now .. I take it he has been making a nuisance of himself ...
I wonder why folks do that .. it probably takes him longer to do the 'scams' than it would to just get on with it and answer a few posts ... hehehe !!!

I didn't catch your earlier post in here about this person. So what does he/she do? How can you spam someone in a forum type setting? I have lots of friends and he/she may be one, but I haven't heard anything from them. Are they sending you private messages? I really need to find out what they do so I can remove them if I have them in my friends circle.

The persons name is Obisco. He has been around for weeks and still has no posts and uses the generic avatar. He keeps putting himself on my friends list. He says that he is a file clerk at a bank in Africa and needs to get money out of the county. If you check the profile it says he is 86 and from India. So he can't even lie well

Some people will never learn. They just want to make people irritate again and again. Thanks for the warning:).

That's so stupid, but he'll probably actually scam a few people. I can't believe that people actually fall for this stuff but they do every day. I don't know why mylot doesn't ban him or her. I tried to look them up but can't find anything for that name, not even a profile...lol Oh well just keep letting people know, that's about all we can do until mylot gets rid of them.

Thanks for the warning. I wonder how these scammers get up the nerve to start posting again? This guy obviously doesn't realize that he isn't going to get paid by Mylot, or more likely he doesn't care and just keeps spamming here because he knows that there are over 60,000 members and he thinks that there must be lots of easy targets here. Spammers are just not cool, lol. It's really good of you to keep us informed. I'm sure that your post will help many people out! ^_^

Thanks for the info. I haven´t seen your Heads up post either. I suppose he/she makes a friends request and when accepted, spams people with private scam messages.
I´ve only ever deleted one friend who send me spam but it´s definately not the same person.

Thanks for that Ally.
I do not have many 'friends' but I look on there profile before I would accept them. Would this weed out this OBISCO guy? Would she/she have a profile? I suppose anyone could make up a profile but surely he/she must realise what a waste of time it is.
