Oh, nice, I hadn't noticed that even though it was a sticky.

Just to clarify this, those aren't "predator" members, they're merely bots. Real people aren't even writing those PMs, they're generic messages sent in massive amounts by spambots. For some reason, they think we'd be stupid enough to actually believe their scams...

As a general rule of thumb - if someone you have never spoken to claims to either be in love with you or wants to give you money - it's a scam.

100% of the time.

You don't need to give it any thought.

Even if someone I do know says they love me, I assume it's a scam :P
