"Nigerian spam" pm's - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

We have had a recent case where a new member joined up to spread "Nigerian spam" by pm's.

You know the sort of stuff - "Im a helpless female in some obscure African country and I have a lot of money which I need help getting out of the country. Help me and you get a 25% share"

If you happen to get one of these please report the member immediately to one of the mods and we will ban them pronto. It goes without saying you should never reply to any such offer!

The last one was foolish enough to pm 5 of the mods so got jumped on pdq

but next time they might not target us.
