  A member “Mr.” sent four members a message regarding money that needed to be transferred and he needs your help. His account has now been deleted and his IP address reported but there is no guarantee that he wont’ sign in as someone else or switch his IP address (easy to do), so if you get one of the spammer/scam emails via your message center, please notify me. I will need the members name who sent the message.

  Sadly there are still people who get conned by these things. I have a blind email I use to play with them. Funny, I haven’t been bothered by scammers for quite a while now. I miss the obscene phone calls too. I managed to make the last one cry before he slammed the phone down on me..

  This guy wasn’t even dealing with bunnies — just one of those stupidly obvious scams about having funds held up in a bank account but he can divide it up a bit and send it to others for safe keeping and he’ll give a percentage of it in exchanging for holding it. I can’t believe people are still trying that— And why the BinkyBunny forum group? I guess they think if they hit some obscure rabbit forum they’ll have better luck — like it’s the last spot on earth to try and find some suckers.

  Yeah, Video phone would have made it great…. Pretended I was deaf and elderly then made the silly sod spell everything, Repeatedly….”What was that dear, I can’t quite hear you, can you spell it again but a bit louder this time?” By the time I finished pretending to completely misunderstand everything he had said and spelled and started giving him directions to the local butchers he was sobbing in frustration and hung up on me… Just so rude… not even a thankyou

  LOL My dad had a friend who used to say “give me your name and phone number. I need to call you back later. How’s midnight?” and then they’d hang up on him.
  
  This message is important, so I hope this makes it bump to the top.
