Has anyone else received c**p like this? I expect it from time to time in my email, but not within a site like Asiaxpat...


Is there nowhere to hide from these scammers?

report it to ed. he knows what to do.


i've received loads of similar emails from hong kong, africa, taiwan

Banned that account

Haha, that's a good one! Heartwrenching indeed!! Some hope these people have, honestly! Sorry, Ed, to hear these scammers manage to make their way into this kind of message service, but I was just thinking: why do they even bother!? Do they actually think it will WORK? I mean there's no way anyone still falls for this kind of nonsense anymore these days, is there? So why are they doing it?
