A scam is being sent by PM to some members please be aware it is a scam. I have requested the person be banned from the site.

Here is a portion of the scam sent...

"Hello Dear, Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you. I know this mail may come to you as a surprise, since we have not known or written before. Afer you receive this mail kindly contact me on my private Email contact below. introducing my self, I am Zaina Ishaaq , the Only Daughter of the late Ishaaq ismail, my father was a gold and cocoa merchant based in accra, ghana and Abidjan (Ivory Coast), he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their business trips recently. Before his death, He called me on his bedside and told me that he has a sum of $6.500,000USD deposited in one of the prime bank here in abidjan ivory coast, that he used my name for the next of kin in depositing of the fund.Please i want to invest this money in a very good business area . . Anticipating to hear from you soon. Awaiting your urgent reply

Regards"

The scam had an e-mail address to respond to this address which I omitted...Please be aware we are an open forum and that requests and solicitations may occur...if you get anything like this from someone please let one of the leaders know immediately. Or contact the administrator by clicking on the CONTACT US and writing an e-mail.

TO THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO ONE OF OUR MEMBERS:

Get out of town...and go somewhere else with your scam....I find it particularly offensive to have a scam on a site for the support of people with illnesses. You are the lowest of the low...

Creep. Now is that cocoa as in cocaine or as in chocolate? Cuz if it were chocolate...... LOL

Thanks for pointing that out Norma. I hate those scammers. I have to deal with that crap everyday at work, scams, viruses, phishing, etc. Technology just gave people the ability to pick your pocket from far away.

Thanks Jrichie...I hate scammers too...and telemarketers, and people who knock on my door to sell me something or case the house, or idiots that call me at work to get me to invest money, people who don't pay me money they owe me, thieves, liars, and people who lie to get something for nothing instead of working for it like the rest of us have to do, abusers, cheats, mmmm have I left anyone out???? If I have, you know who you are....that goes for you too....LOL ROF

And child abusers and people that cheat on their wives that are dying of cancer......

And JR is right....if it were chocolate I would gladly get my checkbook out. Of course, Norma would never tell us - she probably wants it all for herself.

You have delighted us long enough.

You are not going to believe this!!!...now I just got the very same message from a member named Zania208. That name is now showing up as someone having joined today. Although when I click on the name in my message box it shows them joining today but, on the opening Bipolar Page it does not list them as a new member...weird...I again sent a message to the administrator. I am sure they will take care of it...
