Same here:
I’d like to request we add a “contact site admin” to messages or admin profile or add report as spam to private messages.

It is a feature in the platform. Just doesn’t seem to be enabled here…

Easy fix though!

Same - no report message OR report user functionality I can see for DMs. Just for comments and posts:

That miiiiight have something to do with my… Magnetic personality. :P

Or it could be that I just happen to run honeypots to lure in and trap these scammers… :D

But it could just be that I got lucky. XD

In case you were wondering, Frances Connolly is a real person who really did win big on the lottery. However, it looks very much as if a scammer is impersonating her by using a Social Engineering Attack…

Gotta say it - but don’t respond to that stuff. Besides, the real one doesn’t just give money away to random individuals anyway. She only gives it to places she feels comfortable with.

Yup, looks like those two users were already flagged (and likely banned).

If anyone else spots more, feel free to use this thread to flag em! I don’t mind at all!

Oh, I didnt know this story! Sneaky sneaky they are!

Luckily here in Finland we don´t share our money to anyone, so scammers cant use Finnish lottery winners for their scams 😀
