OSTOMATES BEWARE....

I just got a P.M. also from a Rev. Morgan. The scam is about 5 million USD. All I have to do is....

Make sure you are not tempted. 

REMEMBER....If its too good To be true it is not true!! 

This is the message Linda received. She wanted to share it in case anyone else received it. 

Actually I got the same message. Probably most of us did. 

Eric, here is a troublemaker that can hopefully be banished??  Thanks!!

@squeakyandliza...Your so awesome Liza!! Thank you so much for posting that for me. I'm sure Eric will be on it ASAP.  He's about 4 hours ahead of us time wise. TTYL.   

Thanks for alerting me, guys.

I've deleted that account. 

Spam registrations have sharply increased and I usually catch them before they can post anything, but this out of the norm.

If you spot any other suspicious messages or accounts, please bring it to my attention. 

To help mitigate this from happening again, I've set it so private messages cannot be sent until a member has at least one forum post. Since most new posts from new members are under moderation (need to be approved), this should help. 

This won't stop spam registrations, but I'll investigate ways to prevent this without making it more difficult for actual new members to join. 

@squeakyandliza

I just sent Eric the same warning. I didn't see this thread until after I emailed Eric.

My son and I watch Mark's videos often and we LOVE the glitterbomb videos! 

@veganostomy

You'll like the video with mark's collaborator Jim Browning (tech support scams)

Good to see there are some great guys out there helping the less savvy Jim will even try to contact the person being scammed if he can and stop them losing their money.
