That’s right folks I have recieved an unbelievable offer from the son of a late Chief from the Ivory Coast to partake in 12.5M dollar bounty for assisting them to move funds…LOL!!! ;D Unbelievable, not even our PM’s are safe from these scam artists!!!
Lucky you!!! I must have done something wrong, I only got on offer involving 9.5 mil.
Heck, I only get the $1.Mil offers >:(
But I’ve been getting them every day for the past year, so if you add them all up that comes to a total of $365 Mil !! Who’s the lucky one now? ;D

Dell,
Most everyone here got the note…some people got it multiple times…the site administrator has taken action to stop him but he can’t “unring the bell” so what’s done is done.

Don’t know much about web technology, but is there anyway to set this up so that only members can PM other members of the board?? ???
That’s probably the case now, no? Even so there’s nothing to stop someone for joining and spamming. If their account gets banned they can always setup another. 
When a poster is banned, it is not just removing their name, they signed up and their IP Address is shown.
What is blocked is the IP Address, thus the poster cannont sign up with that address anymore.

Sadly this only works with static IP addresses. If someone uses a dynamic address (3/4 of the internet is dynamic) it might be tough to block them. I run into that problem on my own forum a lot. Sometimes blocking a set of IP addresses blocks legit people, sometimes it doesn’t stop them as their provider may own many different subsets of addresses. The only real solution is to KILL ALL SPAMMERS!!! ;D
Rich,
The “Geek” squad is on standby at all times to fend off the spammers on this board.
Each one carries a Static/Dynamic Phaser and shoots ones and zeros at the offenders.

Now we are talking! :guns:
Can’t you stop pussyfooting around and use a bazooka or RPG?
Richard,
Sorry, did not mean to "unring the bell" LOL!!! (Read Herman Munster) Did not want to offend you or the other "moderators"!! Just wanted to inform all of the Nigerian scam artists....but thanks for the "input"!!!! Richard
I usually just delete the emails but I must confess that I have had fun negotiating with Nigerian scammers in the past. They will give you a higher percentage of the take if you ask for it. Then it is always fun to claim that you have sent them the requested banking info but you must have gotten the account number wrong or just give them made up numbers. Making the same “mistake” repeatedly is usually good for some laughs. If they want you to call them, claim that you tried to call but the number is no good. Then recite the number in the email but transpose a couple of digits.
Once I negotiated a scammer into giving me a bigger cut, let’s say he was originally offering 15%. He easily gave way to 20%. Then I decided that 25% was more fair and he agreed to that. When I hit him up for 30% he got mad and emailed that he had found someone to take the deal and he was unwilling to work with me because of my “greedness”.
I then emailed an apology and told him that my wife had access to my email account and that she had made the 30% demand without my knowledge or approval. And please, please, please let me back into the deal. He refused to deal with me.
That is one of my claims to fame. Nigerian scammers refused to deal with me.
This is off the path of the crazy nigerian scammers and aimed more towards spammers/solicitors from this site. I and I am sure others have been receiving email advertisements from members of this site. I realize that there is not a way for the moderators to control this, however, I think that it is unprofessional. If I want someones services I will ask for it.
This site is designed to be a question and answer forum. Not a way to get “leads” for your sales team. Spammers/solicitors, use the boards for providing good advice and if someone wants your services they will contact you.
Sorry, just my 2 cents worth!
And then there are the more subtle methods of trolling for leads for the sales team…
Nice post Mark. I have been receiving them also. I guess that I could just ignore them, but then they never go away. I sometimes wish there was a way for me to spam them back!
wow I thought i was the only one…lol

Great point MDHAAS! I have not posted in a while, as every time that I did I would get dozens of emails from Brokers/Lenders, Insurance agents, distressed property websites, foreign kings and queens, etc. on this site.
I love the input that the members provide each other. Keep it coming everyone!
