Beware of unsolicited private messages

I don't even know what unsolicited means but it sounds intelligent. 
Just a warning to new and old DFW's not to respond to any PM's offering 'financial help' or 'debt services' or 'earn extra money' type schemes. For some odd reason someone seems to think they saw me getting off a banana boat and thought they would try their luck! :rolleyes:

I've not had anything through this site, but I had two letters from debt advisers offering to do thinly disguised IVA's at the end of January. I'd love to know where they got my details especially as my debt problems are over 6 years old now and my credit record is clear :A .
Much more annoyingly I get 2 or 3 emails a day from !!!!!! websites in eastern europe telling me my password has changed. What password???
I've now put 76 email addresses from these people on my blocked list but it is clear they are using randomly generated email accounts, and they just keep coming. Poop.

Hey. That's exactly what you PM'ed me when I was in debt
. You were offering your services, but not debt services as such.

He wishes
. Oz is good - we even had a bit of fog today, not so sunny, but still ok. Will get a sun fix when I go to Hong Kong in 3 weeks, and then off to "4 seasons in 1 day" Melbourne for the rest of my visa..... How is the world of elantan? About to head home but will check in tomorrow. Have a good day xx 0 -

Sorry to jump in here guys, but can i say ms_london, melbourne is the best city in Oz. Perhaps I am bias as I was born there, but I do love good ole melbourne.
Going back to Oz in six weeks myself for six weeks.
Enjoy the rest of your time on the visa.
If you want any ideas on things to do in Melbourne, feel free to shout.
All the best0 -
