What is going on today? Thought I'd sign in early due a gentle read to find there's messages begging for money for a car and for a Bangkok companion finder scheme. The mind boggles. Do I report (never reported before) or is it likely that the mods will remove them?

For not due . Sorry forgot to proof read first.

I always report anything like that, then post ‘reported’, so no one else has to bother.

Yes if it’s a con post report it but always write reported which saves everyone else from doing it
This often happens in the early hours so it s usually a night owl that reports

Ok thanks

I often report posts (scam variety, not members). Probably 2 or 3 times a week.

Yes, always report Normally there’s a string of them, then they disappear for a while

I agree, I also report but many return under a different guise.

Where’s my Nigerian Prince these days?

We’ve just had a couple of scam phone calls on one of our phones and another on the other phone so perhaps Tuesday is scam day!!

I catch a few, being in a different Timezone. They tend to flood the place, very annoying. Yes, report them and say that you have done so.
