First scam sent by PM!
Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is MRS. SANDRA MOORE. I am a French lady married to a Liberian, I am presently in the hospital bed with my laptop where I have been undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs, I have since lost my ability to talk and hear well and my Doctors have told me that I have only few Months to live.

etc...

Looks OK to me, you are a suspicious lot.

Seriously, though, isn't that a bit worrying? If these guys are looking at the Forum?

I think they have sent out an automated script that sends PMs to the memberlist of a phpbb forum. The username was sandramoore and if you Google sandramoore forum there are 62 results, which are the profile pages for this scammer on various forums that use the same software as LMH. In most of them there is a link to a dodgy viagra/medication site, so this is an all-round scammer/spammer.

Whatever do you do if you are a Nigerian with a serious illness and access to a squillion dollars that you need help to get out of the country? Nobody is going to help you. :lol:

She certainly has a very French-sounding name!

I'm very worried about the dangers to her health of being online from her hospital bed. Who knows what the wi-fi is doing to her life-sustaining equipment!

It's a shame she has lost the ability to hear or speak (unusual side effects) otherwise we could call to wish her a speedy recovery.
