I have just received a long and rambling message from "Tatiana from Russia" who needs me to send her money urgently via an app. She told me at length about her unborn baby but also, randomly, about her cat :o

Don't worry, I have reported it and won't be sending money, but it was quite amusing!

Yep. cant report it from my phone as it fills the screen.

I wonder if she's considered taking in ironing or perhaps babysitting in order to earn some fast cash.

I'm very sad I'm not the only special one...

Smallsteps88 · 12/07/2020 21:32

Was there a photo of the cat? Otherwise I’d just ignore Grin

Mydogisthebestest · 12/07/2020 21:33

Amibannedorwhat · 12/07/2020 21:33

I know her she’s actually really nice once you get to know her

Aquamarine1029 · 12/07/2020 21:35

I got it. Sent her £500 because I'm sure it's legitimate. Grin

Sunnydayshereatlast · 12/07/2020 21:37

GisAFag · 12/07/2020 21:38

Wow all I get is emails from the Estate of my cousin, a Nigerian Prince, who left me $238, 752,001

DishingOutDone · 12/07/2020 21:50

I didn't get it Angry Who should I talk to about that?

justanotherneighinparadise · 12/07/2020 21:53

Yep i got it!

I got a random message, but it had already been withdrawn (by MNHQ presumably) by the time I went to read it.

Funnily enough, it was sent to me only about 10 minutes after I had just namechanged earlier this afternoon. I think I'd only posted once, maybe twice with the new name.

I agree, a photo of the cat would have made all the difference.
