Got a PM from someone called 'bleedingheart'. I have never seen them on GN so my heart sank, and I was right another scammer this time pretending to be a US citizen of German origin, I didn't bother to read anymore.

Someone of that name started a thread today. Thought they sounded iffy at the time! Have you reported them to HQ?

He has posted in Grandad's shed, asking how to act when he meets his grandsom for the first time, so as not to have the grandson be boring with him. Doesn't sound as though he knows much about children.

Strange choice of username.

Doesn't sound as though he's real either!
I await my comment being removed by GNHQ for 'troll hunting'....I thought that was something you did under a bridge, accompanied by Three Billy Goats Gruff!

Minimouse what was the new thread?

MiniMouse Mon 04-Jul-16 20:34:28

Sorry, my mistake, they posted on an active thread, but I can't remember which one.

I think it was the one I saw on Grandad's shed, then.

Yes, you're right, I've just tawled through trying to find it and it was G's Shed.

MiniMouse Mon 04-Jul-16 20:44:08

I trawled as well as tawled! confused

Had two identical PMs from Bleedingheart. Have blocked him and cleared him off my main computer. He must think we are daft if he thinks we are taken in by his shenanigans.

I got one too. Will block!

Greenfinch Mon 04-Jul-16 22:07:44

I got one too.I have just ignored it.

I haven't had this or the other one.

Morning! Looks like we've had another mass spammer raiding our inboxes. We've removed them from the site now.
