Is anyone aware of a change in tactics which involves registering on forums to get at the member list database and use the PM function to send out the bait message. i need to know ASAP if anyone has any info>
Hi Miki, welcome to scamwarners.
The simple answer is yes they do.
Even our sister site 419eater which deals with baiting scammers gets the odd visitor trying to find victims to scam, when they arrive we are always right on it and usually get to play with them
If you have recieved a mesage you could post it here for us to do some searches but if you have been contacted by a new member on a forum out of the blue it is most likely a scammer, contact the site administraytors and let them know as they have most likely tried the same thing with other members as well, some may not be as astute as you were
