I received the following in my inbox here on this forum. The forum's "webmaster" informed me I had a private message and this is what it was. Anyone else receive it in their forum inboxes? Good grief!

I got it and deleted it

Sounds like Princess Fatu needs your help Alice, I think that you should step up to the plate and help the old girl out.

 

[Alice]

I deleted it also...just wondered if it was something I did wrong, or if it was general spam. Thanks.

Well at least you didn't fall for it. :lol2:

Nope, you aren't the only one who got it.
Killala and cowgirl580+ also did.

So far I haven't been that *privileged*.

According to the Members List, Princessfatu joined the site on 5/5/06 and has never posted. Seriously doubt if cattle is a big interest to her, more like she has found a new source of e-mail lists. With Alice and Angie, I'm guessing she's going alphabetical order so it may be awhile before I get my shot at the money. ;-)

Well, if she's up to Killala, that ruins my alphabetical order theory.

Maybe Princessfatu is an alias of someone we all know.

Wonder if he/she/it is writing to the registered users that were online at the moment and not hidden. I'm a "hidden" user, so it might take a little longer to "find" me.

The "princess" won't last too long around here once Macon finds him/her/it. LOL.

What's the big deal.....give her my email address and I'll let her send me the check......then I will take out my share for "commission" and gladly give her the remaining portion.

Seriously..this comes around every so often, usually when someone wants to buy something but only has one large cashiers check, so they give you the check and want you to give them back the balance in good ol' U S greenbacks....on the spot no less! By the time you get to your bank to cash the bogus cashiers check, they are long gone with your cash and your cattle/horse or whatever it is you "sold" them.

 

[Hasbeen]

Usually the way this scam works is they ask for your bank account number so they can wire the money direct. They then clean out your account and disappear.
