whats going on????

Feel free to add the person to your ignore list if they keep PMing you with odd stuff http://www.mybboard.com/community/usercp...=editlists

It's a scam. Why would a student attending private school make spelling and grammar mistakes? Also, there are lots of emails going around with these bogus articles of family members dying and leaving large sums of money. Then, out of nowhere, they ask you for assistance of keeping or holding some of the money (which is unheard of - well at least in this level).

It's called the Nigeria Scam, or "402."

Lol. This scam is so old, and so stupid. Who in their right mind would give their bank details. Anyway, an Admin should probably Ban the user and the ip it came from.
