Hello! I have a question...I do apologise if it's one of those questions that has been asked a thousand times before!

To those forum users who keep their name and location private in their profile: when you post in the "I won!" section of the forum, do you ever worry that you are effectively giving away your real name on a public forum if you tell people precisely what competion you've won? People can go and look up the XYZ website where your name and county will be published as the winner of that competition.

I've had a minor win, and was going to post about it, but the thought crossed my mind.

There have been discussions before when winners lists were posted and there was only one winner who had posted the win, but had wanted to keep name/area private. The list was removed to respect the person wishes.

Personally I have better things to do than try to match up winners with posters.

If it bothers you that much don't post wins where are few winners

Totally new to the forum and have been looking at different comps on the net but always been a little nervous about which ones are ok etc. I'll be reading the threads to catch up, so appreciate your patience with me but initially has everyone found the ones on the MSN site Myoffers.co.uk to be ok?

''Dear Sir/Madam,

With due respect, trust and humility, I write to you irrespective of the fact that you do not know me, but please do consider this letter as a request from a helpless soldier in dire need of assistance. You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you don't know me personally. I am (staff SGT) Rigney James, I am an American soldier serving in the military with the army’s 3rd infantry division. I have a desperate need of assistance and have summoned courage to contact you. I found your contact particulars in an address journal.

Some money in various currencies where discovered in barrels at a farm house near one of Saddam Hussein old palace in Tikrit –Iraq during a rescue operation and it was agreed by Staff Kenneth Buff and myself that some part of this money be shared between both of us before informing anybody about it since both of us saw the money first. This was quite an illegal thing to do, but I tell you what! No compensation can make up for the risk we have taken with our lives in this hell hole of which my brother in-law was killed by a roa d side bomb last week. After the sharing of the whole amount discovered, $8 million (Eight million USD only) was given to me as my share but to conceal this kind of money became a problem but with the help of a British diplomatic staff working here I was able to get the fund packed in a trunk box in my name with consignment number and unlock code and delivered to a security company in London and after which the man died in a bomb
blast leaving my fund in a security company in London, though I already have the consignment number and unlock code which will be given to you when contacting the security company for verification.

For the fact that I don’t know when I will be through with the service here, I am seeking your kind assistant to move this sum ($8m) to you in your country either by cash or bank to bank wire transfer to your account from London as far as I can be assured that my share will be safe in your care until I complete my service here. I am willing to give you 20% of this total sum of $8million for your assistance. One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss this issue with any body. Should you have reasons to reject this offer, please destroy this message. I do not know how long we will remain here; last month was the deadliest month for us out here. Totally, we lost 19 men and I have been shot, wounded and survived two suicide bombs attacks by the special grace of God. This and other reasons I will mention later has prompted me to reach out for help. I honestly want this issue to be taken care of immediately. I don’t even know if I will
return home alive but incase I don’t, make it home alive please, use part of the funds for charity work and the rest for your family because I don’t have a family any more.

Please if you are willing to assist me in this project, respond back quickly for further instruction. May GOD bless you, even if you are not willing to help me, may he still protect your family.

Respectfully,
Sergeant.Rigney James

I would PM to get this moved but the BG's must all be tucked up in bed as there are no wee green lights on.
