I informed MrMark about this, he pm'ed back that this person will be banned. Good to put out a warning though!

I laughed when I opened up this PM

Banning the name its self will do no good,
need to ban the IP

The standard living in many countries could be improved if the energy of ingenious persons were redirected for the preparation of something other than fraud for export.

These aren't the only types of "con artists" on here. There are also posters here who claim to care about AS/ASD, but who are here to insult and denigrate AS/ASD indivuals, sometimes openly and, at other times, very subtly.

The anonymity of the internet allows for all sorts of things. Personally I'd love it if I'd stop getting "male enhancement" SPAM in my e-mail inbox. Oh well, lol Best to simply ignore (or report) and move on.

Sounds more like an opening letter to eventually get your bank account and routing numbers...

Yea meeee too, I got one of those emails!!

I haven't but I would have laughed upon reading it. Do they really think they can scam us?

How come I never get any of these freaky pms others get on this site?

Knock on wood I don't.

MissConstrue, careful what you wish for!!

It is not nice getting these emails, I get them a lot. I wish they would just go AWAY!

yeah i got one too and loled @ them for spamming an ASD board.
