Q: has anyone else been PM'ed by new posters.........

who then disappear when challenged? 

 

Over the last week i have been PM'ed by new posters, who have not posted any questions or given any replies or comments. I have refused contact with them, only for them to disappear. 

has anyone else experienced this?

Yeah I get a couple from time to time . sometimes they are trolls and sometimes it is just guys trying to strike up a friendship and I have no problem with that, However I must add I treat all new commers with suspition till I get to know them . I would answer silva's pm because I have a idea what I am dealing with, As I said before He maybe a Nut case but it is our nut Case no                                                           Have you had the escort service pm you yet or that teachers union crap  ? 

sorrel:

I got so many in the last week or so - hence my question about deleting them. I have been suspicious enough to deal with them as they deserve. like you , I would only PM posters I am familiar with

Yes. Often they are fake organisations that make false claims that they can help teachers having troubles with visas or employers. Never give them your details, as you will end up on a recruiters list, or a government "black" list. Just report them to admin if you are suspicious of them.

attention all ladies. yes i pm you hitting you up for sex (a few 100 times a day). if you don't like to get hit on by sleaze bags then stop being women or hit me up for sex before i get the chance to hit you up for sex.

 

i didn't disappear and i'm not a new poster i just took a break. 

 

seriously, there are many scammers working this site to try and get info

I got one PM!  Clearly not as popular as everyone else here then cool.  Just asked me loads of questions that I obviously didn't answer.  Bit weird.  As with you they were people that have never posted anything and clearly just made an account to contact me, and presumably others.

I only get PM from a couple of people on this list. I think anyone else would be afraid of what I might say.

Hey folks, if you've been getting PMs from dodgy users requesting personal information, do not, I repeat, do not reply to them! In fact, please send me a message with their username so I can make sure they stop pestering you in the future. Cheers!
