My Dear,

It is my pleasure to contact you for a business venture which I and my Sons George and Henry intend to establish in your country.Though I have not met with you before but I believe one has to risk confiding in succeed sometimes in life.
I can confide on you for the brighter future of my children since you are a human being like me. There is this huge amount of Eight Million united states dollars. ($8.000.000.00) $8 million which my late Husband kept for us in a Security Company here in Abidjan Cote D'ivoire before he was assasinated by unknown persons.Now I and my Sons George and Henry have decided to invest these money in your country or anywhere safe enough for security and political reasons.

We want you to help us claim and retrieve these fund from the Security company and transfer it into your personal account in your country for investment purposes on these areas:
1). Telecommunication
2). the transport industry
3). Five star hotel
4). Real Estate

If you can be of an assistance to us we will be pleased to offer to you 20 % of the total fund.

I await your soonest response.

Respectfully yours
Mrs Rita Meash.
I don't really get it, it has to be a member here no?

That's where I don't get it.

I once made the mistake to put my email directly on the ad, that way it's easy for a bot to get it, but it's not the case in my ad

That user joined just to spam us - http://www.straightrazorplace.com/fo...ita-meash.html They were banned for posting a spam in the forums. Sorry that they were able to spam the users before we popped them.

There is a user here "rita meash", who was banned for SPAM. Hopefully one of the admins can check into this. I would think a ban would prohibit access to the Classifieds, but I can't confirm if that's how it works in reality.

Banned users become lurking users - they have zero ability to PM, email, or use any system of StraightRazorPlace.com - including the Classifieds.

Their only access is to read what has been posted, nothing else.

Further clarification: Banned Users can't even see user profiles - not even their own user profile.

So THAT'S why I've been getting such an influx of crap spam emails recently. My chromium oxide classified ad!! I had my email address in there and didn't even think of that.

Thanks for the info.

Just FYI, if you ever need to enter an email address to access a News site, or other site that you have no plans to use for a purchase or other business. Consider using www. dodgeit.com

It is free and non-password protected. You can enter anything-ie. Ionlyshavewithdullblades@dodgeit.com
No more spam to your REAL EMAIL.
