I don't have one! She is obviously selective in the accounts she uses! Either that or she has seen a photo of me!

[LeTiss]

I didn't get one either.
That narrows down her location to a PO postcode

The 419 scam is the most common, this website is a funny riposte to the scammers.

I got one too. Am dusting off the old chap as we speak.

I reckon the photo clinched it.

Does this forum have an option for limiting the number of PMs that can be sent in an hour?

[bilko]

Hopefully Jeff got one!

Has BA removed this user?
I have a email from BA support saying i have a new pm,but there is no pm.

I have just googled her hotmail address,She seems to be pulling this scam all over the show.

Yes, this user was removed when we were alerted. This may mean that when you go to read the message it isn't there. Sorry for the spam, we will work on ways to prevent it in future.
