Today I have received the following as a private message on Gransnet. To me it is very obviously a scam or at the very least advertising. I very much doubt that it is in accordance with this forum's rules. I hope the site moderators have some way of dealing with this kind of thing, but I am posting the message in full here, so others are made aware of what looks like a typical scam to me.
BEWARE ! The following was received by me as a private message over Gransnet todag. Sat. 17. Dec. 2022
Fri 16-Dec-22 22:27:58 We are suppliers of Gold Dory Bars/ Gold Dust and we mine our Au Gold and few natural materials from our family mine. We supply top quality Au Gold to any interested Buyer. Our procedures are simple and we work close with our buyer to create long term business relationship. Also very important my late customer deposited huge amount of money here $14.5million possible you can help me claim this money to your country I will sincerely approve to you 30% acceptable?
I didn’t get it. Nowadays I don’t even get those spam emails kindly offering wondrous methods of enlarging my penis. Should I be taking offence at being shunned?
Maybe it was Ronnie who phoned me he seems to get around. The Rev Chris probably knew about my blaspheming and that's why he never made me an offer I couldn't refuse.
I think Ronnie might have been after my money. I haven't got that much so he's wasting his time.
If he wanted anything else he's also wasting his time.
The chap who phoned me was wasting his time as well he certainly wasn't after money I think he might have paid me. DD said I should have reported it to the police.
I have heard from Ronnie though who wants to be my friend 🤔
I hope Ronnie is not like the friend I once got on the phone in the middle of the night when DH was away. He must have thought I was a man when he told me what he wanted to do to me, my name can be a mans. I was too shocked to be frightened and told him to Bugg....of, really what he wanted to do so I shouted and Run to hell at the same time. When DH came back and I told him he laughed till he cried.No sympathy in this house.
I got it, he sounds a very nice person and I’m sure we can negotiate the 30% to at least 50%. I’ve also asked for a sample of the gold for testing purposes.
grandtanteJE65, I think we all got it - and reported, deleted, and blocked accordingly. Anyone can sign up on GN, including spammers, so 'permitted' doesn't come into it. GN will delete their account - but they can create a new one.
