Why do you put that on here and give us the scam, so they know all our address etc. - J

If they would just spend their time and energy on something constructive it would be great!

Unles you give out your email address, no one has your email address here.

If you're referencing the PM system ... anyone who becomes a member can send a PM to any other poster/member. This is what happened in this case ..... it was all via PMs

You think I gave them access to you or your email??????

First of all...no one on this board (including me) has your email address unless YOU gave it to them.

Secondly....you think that a scam is contagious somehow just from reading this thread???? Really?????
