I just got my first SPAM via the board's Private Mail feature.  It was the classic "I just saw your profile and wanted to write you..." message.

We have been compromized...

Well Conner,

I got the E-mail too.  Maybe she is frightened of big guys?

Isabelababy - you should be more selective in who you send your invitations to.  My profile clearly states that I am married!

Got the PM too.  Since my "profile" says nothing it's incredible "she" found it interesting.  Definitely a PM spam, scam or virus embedded photo reply.

I got the same spam and sent "her" an email through one of my throwaway accounts just to see what kind of scam is cooking. I'm guessing since the email mentions color and I found the same post to a generic message board that it's a 419 or Nigerian love scam.

So keep us updated about this scam.

Also got the Nigeria scam...  Sent it to FBI.  Doubt will  be response...

Nigeria scam originated in Netherlands according to my IP search..

Sounds more like a Nigerian scam than an honest marriage prospect.

It's definitely 419, if I have a free moment this weekend I'll try to get access to the account and perform some hijinks :)

Sure is. She's on Stop-Scammers.com, and here's what comes next (excerpts only):

Hello Dear,
I am more than happy in your reply to my mail.
How are you this morning? How was your night hope fine.?.
Mine is a little bit cold over here in Dakar Senegal.

 Right! It's currently 79 degrees, with a fair and sunny 5-day forecast..

Please listen to this,i have my late father's statement of account and death certificate here with me which i will send to you latter,because when he was alive he deposited some amount of money in a leading bank in Europe which he used my name as the next of kin,the amount in question is $9.7(Nine Million Seven Hundred Thousand USDollars).


Isabella, we know what comes next. Few of us were so fortunate to have found a fiance with such assets...

I am impressed, life as an African rufugee must be good.  Her clothes are exceptionaly clean, the floors appears to be modern and well maintained and the fireplace with the brass fixtures doeen't look cheap.  Perhaps I should stay out in the sun and then apply for a position as a refugee:shock::cool:

Yea, count me in to. Since there is no info in my profile, it was very suspicious. So what would be the next move in a scam like this?
