    I thought twice before posting this message, ie trying to help those that read or could alert others. My hesitation was based on what I had seen on other posts, threads where someone that has been here for a while goes around posting uncessary and nonconstructive posts in order to derail a decent, informative thread or question.  After your post, you got what you want another completely OT comments. Comments like yours and others kill forums. 
    Would you have said something like that to someones face, I know the answer but like others you will deny it, answer is a big, NO!
    I understand that some people may be bored, lonely or whatever but please do not kill the forums with totally inappropriate comments.
    FYI, I won't bother reporting you and I hope someone else does.

    The link, the attempted FRAUD, it catches out REAL people!!! You may think you are clever, too good to be caught  out, but it happens. People have lost their life savings and some may have ended their life and you make a joke out of a subject like this, shame on you!
