MEMBERS - BEWARE OF EMAILS FROM A FRANK KWABENA!!!!

[Carol]

I got an email today in my personal email from a "supposedly" member named Frank Kwabena saying he needs me to contact him about something and that he left a message on my Oozing Goo wall.  I thought this to be strange as new members do not send emails like to to members so I did a little research.  Turns out it is a VIRUS!!! DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL!!!!  I WILL BE NOTIFYING THE MODS OF THIS JUST IN CASE THEY WANT TO ALSO POST A WARNING UP!!!

P.S.  The weird thing is he goes through social media sites!!!

HERE IS WHAT THE EMAIL LOOKS LIKE

FRANK KWABENA added a comment to your profile on Oozing Goo - The Lava Lamp Syndicate

Good Day,

How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on:( [e-mail] ) for the full details.

Have a nice day

Thanks God bless.

Mr Frank.

It was obviously caught because he is not a member anymore and there is no comment on my wall!! 

[Erin]

He's been suspended for spam. Thanks for the heads up from Keith and Carol.

I just signed up to this site, and have something in my profile about trying to build my own lamp. Figured it was a mod offeringadvice. I guess the joke is on me, my computer seems to be fine though.

[Erin]

No worries - we get the occasional troll from time to time! All is well. Lamp on!

[Lori Wilder]

Glad you got him I just saw that in my email. 

[Carol]

Oh the world of computers, lol!!!  Just goes to show ya, anytime something seems weird on a computer, like any suspicious emails or whatever, trust your first judgment and just ignore it until you find out if it's legit......

[Kathleen]

Great job...thanks for the warning. Alot of these type postings will usually contain alot of strange and stilted sentences and word groupings. Things that just don't sound/look right. The people putting these together are usually not the sharpest and their language and/or interpretation skills are usually pretty low. Beware...

I'm sorry to resurrect an old thread. I did want to mention that this guy just messaged me today asking me to email him as well. I had a feeling it was not legitimate.

[S pinder]

Yes I got the same email as well

[Erin]

I suspended the account again. What's weird is that this particular name comes up ALL THE TIME as spam. Must be a junk name that people use to spam forums. 

If anyone has problems with a member, please email me and I'll take care of it. 

[Ryan]

Thanks Erin! :)

I hate to bring back an old discussion, but this email is going around again. The wording is almost exactly the same, but this time from a "member" named Annabel Duru.
