Beware of this person

posted over 2 years ago | Report

Hi there,

I'm working in information technology security and i received this message by one of the member
http://www.dailymile.com/people/lissyaa

"victory.oumar@yahoo.com
Hello
I read your profile today and it was so good to me.u know that i am interested to be a friend first.i also believe that coming to you will be a probability of meeting that very love that has been lacking in my entire life. please i will like you to contact me direct to my e-mail address,
(victory.oumar@yahoo.com) i dont know the posebility of remaing in forum for long time,i will give you a full introduction of my self with my pictures ok. i will be waiting for your mail to my e-mail adsdress
(victory.oumar@yahoo.com) as you know
there is no age,race,colour n religion bar when it comes to true love,
cares victoria."

This is a scam. A classic one...
In this, guys with a low self-esteem or a big need to fall in love will fall for this...
The girl and the guy become a "couple", but the girl live in Africa... The girl then asks for money so they can be both together. But she always needs more money to handle more and more difficulties. For example, her mother could die and money will be needed... etc etc...

Anyway... I just want to alert everyone about this :)
And if "Moderators" or "Admins" can do something. This community is wonderfull and the kind of people like "lissy" is not welcome.

Have a nice day all !

    We have a lot of cool updates that we are going to add to dailymile soon. One of those updates is better spam protection. It'll help a lot in cutting down these problems. Sorry again everyone. Didn't mean to serve up some spam for Saturday morning breakfast!
