Someone named marykalo pm'd me and asked me to email her, she had no posts on the forums though. Today i got one of those stupid emails from her about getting 25% of 10 million dollars if i help her. I didnt bother reading the whole email but i think they want your private details or something. Anyone else getting pm's from her?

oh i posted this in the wrong section, sorry.

I never got anything. WP is better known than I thought, perhaps, if these people decide to use it. Or maybe they're more Aspie criminals wanting to destory our rep, hmmm... no more hole-in-the-wall, WP gets everything every other site gets! Soon there will be the sex traffickers too!

Please see here: http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt50460.html

It was indeed a scam and the member was banned. Please let us know if you receive anything like this in the future.

Oh, and cool avatar! :)

She pm'd my daughter, MattD, who forwarded it to me, and when I reported it to Alex, he told me marykalo had been banned.

Daughter and I also got very p***ed that someone would try that in this forum.
