WARNING - SCAM PLEASE READ

Hi All,

Yesterday I received a private message on here which read as below.  Please be aware that I will not be contacting this person as it is most likely a scam.  A relative of mine got duped in a similar way, when a random (attractive) female emailed him.  He was vulnerable and desperate to find love in his life and got chatting to the person and ended up being scammed for money.  In all likelyhood the person who emailed me has probably also emailed a number of other of you.  I have deleted out the personal details that this person included(in case she does happen to be genuine which I doubt 100%) however if anyone else has received the same email I suggest you contact the administrator of the site to report it - If anyone knows how I contact support I will be doing the same.

Thanks
Lee
