Just a heads up guys.  I received this PM a few hours ago.  It looks like a Phishing attempt, and when I Googled her name, I found this.  I am sure people are too aware to respond to this sort of message, but it does not hurt to have suspicions confirmed.  I've raised it in the Back Room so I imagine the account will be pulled.

            Hope you both reported it as spam to get the person deactivated.

              Yep. I made a similar post in the Back Room.  The account is still active as I type this, but I am sure it won't be long till it's gone.

                  Got the same one Trevor. Dennis, pushed into my spam folder. Seen these many times. Also got a calls from someone with a Spanish accent calling me grandma and sorry he called so late. We are in a retirement zipcode area so lots of these. I tell them to call my attorney son-in-law etc. for bail money. :+) JH
