Anybody else received this private message?

It's a Nigerian 419 scam. The words used are a giveaway.

I recently had a message from someone, [a lady? ] not sure it was a lady,it was very personal and all about sex,i would like to change my user name but cant find anywhere to do it unless i re register, cant remember my password either as i am automatically logged in, anyone know how i can do this
I have tried contacting gransnet but says doesnt recognise my email, even though i get messages
Oh have blocked this person by the way

I'd have thought that would be enough, Jane.

I didn't contact GN separately from reporting the PM on the email itself by clicking on the report icon. Do I have to report it again? Surely once is enough?

I reported it.

Did you tell HQ about it so that they could deal with it?

The same tricks continue. I received a very similar private message a couple of days ago, obviously from the same source.
Actually it arrived twice!
I just deleted.

Are HQ dealing with this?

But MOnica that wouldn't be any fun! I don't think answering him would make him more or less likely to contact other people, he is going to do that anyway. If I didn't have more important things to do I might lead him on for ages and let him think I really was that stupid, just like I did last week with the umpteenth person who called me to tell me about a problem with my browser. That seems to have stopped those calls but not sure leading him on would stop him.

No, answering could be dangerous, I suppose one could reply through a PM saying 'Hallo, Mr Tom, the scammer, I recognised you as such the moment I saw your email' and then block the address.

But if you did that, he could then abuse other GN members, who either ignored his email, but didn't block him, or even email other members at random.

No, best left alone.

I don’t think it takes coutage Nonnie more like foolhardiness ???

I hope that all those who blocked unwanted PMs also reported them to GNHQ so that they could be blocked from the entire site and not left free to stalk other posters.

Looks like none of us has the courage to answer and see where it goes. No, I'm not volunteering!

Shortly after I joined this forum I had a PM , which said I had forced her to leave the country and live abroad, with some most unpleasant thoughts added . Seems it was because I voted for Blair , I didn’t reply , just blocked
