desertdude · Post by **desertdude** » Fri Oct 31, 2008 2:33 am

Ok I this is really sick, not only do I have to delete this spam atleast once everyday on my regular mail now even here on AD4x4.

This is from a PM I recieved today

"Hello,

How are you today? I hope you are fine.If so thank be to God almigthy.My name is Aishah Ali Faraad 26 years old , from Liberia in West Africa. I am single girl looking for honest and nice person.

Somebody who care and fear God whom i can partner with .I don't care about your colour or ethnicity.I would like to know you more,most especially what you like and what you dislike.I'm sending you this beautiful mail, with a wish for much happiness. I am looking forward to hear from you.please send your reply to my direct email, This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Thanks and God bless.
Love from,

This is know as a Vlad Scam and there are the regular 419 advance fee scams ( for more info check this site out www.419eater.com )

I know most are aware and smart for this, but still many people fall for this kind of scam, you would be surprised how many 100's of million dollars ( yes you read it right ) people lose to these advance fee and vlad scams. I am so sick of this sh!t that you won't believe it. If it was up to me I would probally take Nigeria and Some Soviet breakaway republics of the internet grid ( 99% of Advance Fee Fraud originiates from Nigeria and The Vlad scams from these CIS countries )

Plz delete/block/ban this member and to be safe block the entire IP range as usally these criminals use internet cafes and don't have one designated IP adress

Thank you

Guys guess I almost opened the same but being myself I checked the left PM banner when I received the 'You have 1 message' and it read 0 unread so I just opened the PM from the left banner and the message was gone....
