"Friendly" messages

21st January 2012 at 15:03

So,i went to CO+K now,and there was one of those "friendly" messages. The user (jane j.) wanted me to contact her through email and send me her picture. Im not going to respond to this message,because its suspicious for me. Has anyone had messages like this sent to them?

I received the EXACT same email. I didn't respond. I also got a comment like this on my profile.

Not sure whether any of you remember 'gift' or doris... exactly the same thing, different name.

Don't be too worried ladies they aren't " predators" they're just spam-bots. That's why all the messages are the same. But yeah still totally not a good idea to respond. Just go to their profile and click the "report user" link so Tom knows to get rid of them.

I would totally do what Pamela recommends, except for that most of the screen names shown are "CO+K User" and don't have a profile that you can view or use to report. Has anybody else seen this?

Olivia I think that if it just says CO+K User instead of a user name that they have already been notified of the user and deleted their account or cut off their account from being used any more.

Thanks, Pamela! That makes sense. But then how do I get messages from someone whose account has been deleted?

That probably means their account was deleted before you got a change to read the message but after they sent it to you.

very odd, dont like em at all, I got an e-mail like that supposedly from a girl called mercy ! what rubbish it was creepy, I tried to view the message after an allert from my hotmail and it said the link expired, unable to acsess it so I think this person was blocked but very strange behaviour :/ unerving is the word.
