I got that too.
Almost as entertaining as the death threats I used to get a few years ago.

Not that I don't believe that this message is 100% true, but since when do French women refer themselves as "Mrs.Firstname"?

Godson is a pretty popular Nigerian name.

There's been an uptick in scams lately. They became more prevalent as a result of the pandemic in general, but there's been a new surge. I'm kind of surprised they made it here on waygook, seems like an odd place to fish for victims, but maybe this person figured they wouldn't have a lot of competition here.

I didn't realize that new users with no posting history at all were able to message other users.

Yeah we all got that. It went straight to the delete box.

Kyndo · « **Reply #10 on:** March 25, 2021, 12:22:00 pm »

I'll mute them, but I'm not sure if that prevents messaging too.

I didn't.

I never even got one of those copyandpaste threat PMs from way back.

Kyndo · « **Reply #12 on:** March 25, 2021, 12:47:26 pm »

Wait, those death threats were copypasta? And here I was thinking I was special.

Chinguetti · « **Reply #13 on:** March 25, 2021, 12:53:13 pm »

Yeah, I remember some members saying that they would receive the exact same threats every year and sometimes in different forums. Pretty sure I remember a guy saying that he'd received them in Dave's, too.

One or two users even complained that the spelling and grammar errors were never fixed, lmao.

I' ve been working from home for 5000 years making $500000000 an hour for the past three years and so can you!

We used to get those threats on Dave's too. Really weird stuff
like, "I hope you die painfully of cancer, %$%$ ass-&^%$.
