There �s a user, with ZERO contributions, by the name of loverepp
she or he, contacts you, out of the blue, and wants to exchange emails.
After researching the email, I found that this person logs on to countless sites and does the same thing.
so, be careful, �cause it sounds like a scam. |

I got a message from him and I was ready to report him, instead I said a few (not so good I admit) words to him. I am sure he is a guy because as I understood he is looking for a date. Anyway, he didn �t bother me again. Isn �t there a way to check people before they become members? |

yeah... once I received a PM here of a member who said he was russian, living in England (in the north of England I remember) and asking if i was willing to tutor his family: he was offering to pay for my plane tickets, and the salary was more than generous given the fact that i �m not a native speaker... he gave me his email address so that i could reply directly but when i checked he had deleted his eslprintables account!!!
obviously it was a scam... i didn �t warn anyone - although i should have - because i only read the message 5 weeks after he had sent it (i was at the hospital at that time...)
