I've just had the begging message off the same user. Was looking for a way to report it.

Hi OP

Can we check what device and browser you're using?

philautia · 06/06/2023 22:35

I had it too and can't report.

PickledScrump · 06/06/2023 22:40

I’ve had it too and I’ve reported it. Absolute scum

marriednotdead · 06/06/2023 22:40

I’ve had what I suspect is the same one. iPad.

NewPinkJacket · 06/06/2023 23:00

I was just coming on to post about this.

I'm using Chrome on a laptop and all I could do was block them but no report option.

SophiaElizabethGrace · 06/06/2023 23:02

I've had the same message.

PickledScrump · 06/06/2023 23:34

I got one too. Not sure how to report. Safari on iPhone.

Whenwillitallmakesense · 07/06/2023 00:05

I got it too. Couldn't report.

Harsh! You don't know that.

PickledScrump · 07/06/2023 00:10

@MrsLiam its a scam to try and manipulate people into giving money. It’s not harsh at all. I’ve seen the same thing before pretty much word for word

blueshoes · 07/06/2023 00:17

Reeks of scam

continentallentil · 07/06/2023 00:26

i’ve had the same one and did report, but they don’t seem to have been deleted yet?

unsync · 07/06/2023 07:00

Same. Blocked but can't report.

tribpot · 07/06/2023 07:09

I've got the option (on other PMs) using the browser on both desktop and mobile, is the option to block (yet another thing) missing from the app, I wonder? Or is affecting new PMs only?

IWonderWhereThatDishDidGo · 07/06/2023 07:10

I've had the same one! You can report by clicking the three dots to the right of the message

IWonderWhereThatDishDidGo · 07/06/2023 07:11

Not the three dots at the top right, there should be more lower down beside the actual message

IWonderWhereThatDishDidGo · 07/06/2023 07:12

HQ aren't known for being speedy are they? Especially overnight

But you can clear your own messages. There's an option to clear chat

IWonderWhereThatDishDidGo · 07/06/2023 07:15

Here is how it looks on mine. Clear chat option at the top. Three dots lower down (to report)

Ah yes, I was looking at block rather than report - but yes my screen is the same as yours @IWonderWhereThatDishDidGo . I wonder if it's the length of the message that means the 3 report dots are off the screen on mobile devices.

Florissante · 07/06/2023 07:31

S-C-A-M.

And if you feel it's not, @MrsLiam, please do send money and don't stint.

Darknightsahead · 07/06/2023 07:50

I’m received this as well and I’m absolutely raging considering the thread I made yesterday about how I was feeling. How do these people sleep at night?
