Strange PM...

Anyone else here received a PM from a member who has no posts requesting you to contact them via their gmail account?

Just asking :wink:

I had the same PM, I was going to PM back asking what it's about but I definitely didn't intend to email.

It's likely someone harvesting email addresses or some form of scam.

I got one too. I told them to message me if they want to chat because I'm not in the habit of giving my email address to complete strangers. Got a reply saying to send them an email again.

I thought it might have been @vannagirl posing as competition to see if I was tempted to stray, but snowdogs are loyal beasts ❤️

Got one too:

My name is Shaye Lynne, please kindly contact me through my Email 
(shayelynnehav225@gmail.com)
Thank you."

Googled it, similar messages have been sent before, also in other languages. I did not contact "Shaye Lynne", I think the name is fake. It seems like some person may want us to believe it's this person:

I wasn't sure about 'naming and shaming' but yes, the very same person.  Scam I suppose :smile:
Anyone else on the forum would just use the PM system...
Thank folks!
