Phising on this site

I've had a couple of PMs lately from people who are "deactivated" from this site/forum - friendly chit chat asking me to send them personal emails and they will send photos etc. Others have had this too. The dead giveaway for me is the language they use "dear" and "God Bless". There is nothing "dear" (I am nice enough, but nobody's "dear") or faith-based about me so I know I have not had communication with them.

Just sharing this as all should be aware of phising attempts online to either hack or take advantage of those deemed vulnerable by some.

Of course they are - they just need you to send $500 more and then you can cash that massive cheque from the charming prince!
