My apologies to anyone who received this rubbish.

This pathetic, disrespectful, excuse for human being - already apparently disowned by his own mother! - registered an account for the sole purpose of spamming members via private messages and has been banned.

They registered on the site this morning and posted a single spam, then returned at 7.05pm and spammed a further 22 members before I suspect that Na's return volley of 31 nonsense messages shut this idiot up at about 8.30pm.

Sorry if I've spoiled your fun, Na!

If you received a message, please don't respond and particularly don't send any emails - you can guess what will happen to your email address!

For the enjoyment of those that take a peverse pleasure in reading the ridiculous lengths these criminals will go to in order to try and snag a victim and for the edification of the few people left in the world that have never seen a classic piece of "nigerian" spam, I've reproduced portions below.

It would almost be funny if there weren't clearly sufficient gullible people left in the world to make it worth this criminal's time to pursue this.

Dear Respectful One,

Permit me to in form you of may desire of going to business relationship with
you.

I got your contact from the International web site directory.

I prayed over it and selected your name among other names due to it's
esteeming nature and the recommendations given to me as a reputable and trust
worthy person I can do business with and by their recommenddations I must not
hesitate to confide in your for this simple and sincere business.I am Emmanuel Peter the only son of late Mr and Mrs Peter John My father was a very wealthy
cocoa merchant in Abidjan,the economic capital
of Ivory Coast before he was poisoned to death by his business associates on
one of their outing to discus on a business deal.
When my mother died on the 21st October 2001, my father took me  special
because i am motherless.  
Before the death of my father on 14th june 2008 in a private hospital here in
Abidjan.He secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has a sum of
$5.600.000 (Five Million, six hundred thousand dollars) left in a suspense
account in a local Bank here in Abidjan, that he used my name as  the next of
kin in deposit of the fund.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth and some huge amount
of money his business associates supposed to balance his from the deal they had
that he was poisoned by his business associates, that I should seek for a God
fearing foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this
money and use it for investment purpose, (such as real estate management).
I am honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways.

1) To provide a Bank account where this money would be transferred to.
2) To serve as the guardian of this since I am a boy of 20 years.
Moreover  i am willing to offer you 10% of the sum as compensation for effort
input after the successful transfer of this fund to your designate account
overseas.
3) To make arrangement for me in your country to continue my educatinonal
career and to secure for me a residence permit in your country.

Anticipating to hear from you soon.
Thanks and God Bless.
Best regards.
Emmanuel Peter.
