Posted - Sep 26 2018 : 07:24:04 AM I received an email from ritamichelle49. I would block, but I am not sure if a member's email has been hacked and don't want to block a member. It came through my email from the Maryjane Farmgirl Connection. Typical scam email. Here is the body:
"Good Day,
My name is Rita Michelle 20years old,the only daughter to my late parent Mr/Mrs Michelle. I am contacting you because i need you to stand as my guardian in the management of a sum 3.6 million Euro that my late father left for me before he died. Please I am ever ready to offer you 30% for your help, then you will help me invest the balance in your country. Please take me like your daughter or your sister.
Thanks and I will give you more details as soon as I hear from you. Please reply me with this email address: ( ritamichelle93@gmail.com )
Sincerely Yours, Rita Michelle"
I am not sure if there is a farmgirl attached to this email or name, but am sure, if there is, she did not send this email. Not sure who the moderators are, but want them to be aware. Thanks Lisa

Posted - Sep 29 2018 : 10:05:03 AM I sent it to Brian as soon as I saw it. Obviously, this was written by someone who barely knows American English and is trying to make some money. I know of people who have fallen for this scam and the money drain never ends.

Posted - Sep 28 2018 : 1:18:03 PM I received the exact same email. I don't understand how people could be so heartless and want to scam others. I'm glad it's been taken care off. Be safe ladies!

Posted - Sep 27 2018 : 04:34:44 AM Both Brian and Maryjane have taken care of the problem. Hopefully this won't happen again, but we are all smart enough not to fall for these phishing attempts if they do.
