    Scam emails

    Some times there is a member of treasurenet that appears in front of my user name when I go down to see who's on line. I have click on it to see who they are. The other day I did it and ended up with one of those scam emails.

    Today I found another and clicked on it and went back and it had left and I went off line and into my email and there it was another scam email all in less than 5 minutes of clicking on the users name.
    It said two million dollars- west Africa,$215.00 delivery charge.To long to put it all up here.

    In Minnesota they passed a Vulnerable adult law. If you scam a vulnerable adult it's automaticaly a prison sentance.
    And scam emails even just for fun or a joke might get you some time.

    The first one I got was right after I clicked on KMWAHOO or KMWAHOO"S and the other was 5 minutes after clicking on VOLDBJERG. Don't take my word for it click on them and find out if you get a scam email. There is more scamers and they will be back under another name in a few days.

    I think it's kinda funny but someone else might get stung.

    Sounds more like a coincidence
    There profile pops up. When you look at the users on line list ,your name is first but not always and thats when I clicked on them to see whats going on. I seen that the first one was on in the sixth row yesterday but I didnt test it to see if it would do it again.
    Im not saying that there the fault but It might have been bilt into there system or in tn system.I know there are very smart people in computers that can do many things like send 500 emails to you if they chose to. Keep checking your user online name and if someone is in front click on it.

    Maybe it didn't mater that I clicked on it,I would have gotten it anyway.
    Google those names and see what you get.
