Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

I got this message today from someone on this forum I have to say it looks very suspicious and I wondered what anyone else thinks or if they have had similar. I have removed the forum members name for now but obviously I have it.  What does anyone else think?

I got the same and messaged Hugh about it a minute ago. Definitely dodgy. 

Mr James Pollard seems to have been trying this on for a while...

It's clearly not written by a native English speaker which Mr. James Pollard (if it was indeed him) would be for sure.  It really looks like  scam.

Thank you for letting me know. That profile and all their content has now been deleted.

The measures we take, keep the vast majority of this type of thing at bay. But this is a good reminder that even we’re not perfect!

Of course, it goes without saying that no one should email the address provided.

Happy New Year, all!

No application is just approved without thought. I've got pretty good at spotting the suspect ones. But I missed this one. 

Where I've reason to be suspicious, I run a number of checks. This one presented no flags. So I didn't check.

Having said that, I think this is the first spammer that's got on to the site in about ten years, I think. 

Thank you for your efforts. 

Wow. Well, I think some credit is due for that feat. 

That's a very impressive record, Hugh. Thank you.

You do brilliantly Hugh! We all appreciate it.

I'm currently in the process of securing a $10,000,000 stipend from this gentleman. He's actually a Nigerian prince - and has chosen me to be the benefactor of his charity. I'm rich! He just needs my bank account number and sort-code...

Smart thinking on your behalf to question that Alicia.  So infuriating knowing there are people out there who try such things on.   And good old Hugh for doing his utmost.   Take care everyone.
