My apologies to our members. We have never had a problem with spammers emailing our members in our seven years having this forum - until last week. This Nigerian scam has been going on for about ten years, and the emails are always very similar to each other. Its someone who desperately needs help and wants to send you money and get your banking information or some other credit information.

Please IGNORE these emails. They are not from us. The spammer is using his own email address. We can't control him. We could hide our user's data more which is something I'm considering doing.

The spammer seems to have stopped by now. We got six complaints from members so far which indicates that the spammer is only contacting a handful of the thousands of members that we have on board.

Don't worry too much. This spammer is harmless if you ignore him.

I received this in my email claiming to be from 123Notary.com. I am posting this for everyone to be aware and delete these kinds of messages. They could contain malicious content that could harm or hijack your computer, or unbelievably someone may buy into their money laundering scam. Nigerian scams like these are the oldest in the book, but I thought I would post it anyway. Yeah right, this guys name is George, like my name is really Betty Crocker. See below:
