Its another version of the Nigerian 419 scam. Thanks for reporting it.

I have locked the member and I edited your post just in case. This is at least the second time this person has tried to send emails to forum members. I will be contacting their isp and reporting it to the authorities in the Ivory Coast.

These are his/her ISP's details if you want to make your own complaint - You must be logged in to see this link.

I am glad to see that action has already been taken. But if this is the second time, there will probably be a third and a fourth and who knows how many more? Since it is obivious that she can re-register, have you thought about blocking her IP instead as a permanent solution?

Please feel free to snip my post as well btw, I just felt I should post the whole e-mail so I wasn't thought to be 'jumping on the bandwagon'.

They managed to get around the ip ban last time so I'm looking at other options. I'll keep you updated.
