I got one from a lynch222 wanting to share an ideology with me and asking me to chat on a WhatsApp number. I’ve blocked the weirdo and have reported them.

Oh Lilypops are you not the lucky one? You could easily pop a cheque into your account without hassling him with your bank details.

Hi aggie, email them on [email protected]

I get an email telling me that a gransnetter has sent me a private message so from now on if I don't recognise the name I won't follow the link.........I will delete it.

I never look at my in box unless I expect a message , so I read your post and checked , sure enough there it is ! How do I tell the Mods ?

This afternoon I looked at my private messages and there was one from a poster I did not recognise. There was the start of a potentially offensive message along with the title so I did not open it. I deleted it and sent an email to Gransnet to block this person. They dealt with it very promptly and he/she will not be able to send any one another private message. I am posting this to say thank you to whoever dealt with this at Gransnet HQ and to warn Gransnetters that anyone can come on here and send offensive private messages so be aware!!
