Howzit Dene,

Ol' Frank Kwabena has signed up three times to Shot Bru. He is obviously a surfer because he knows the answer to our security question (what stance is the opposite of NATURAL?). Ha ha!

Just a question, is he e-mailing you directly to your personal address or is he messaging you here on Shot Bru and you're getting a notification via your personal e-mail? If it's the former then it's a much more serious problem because he has access to your personal e-mail address. If it's the latter then it's still a problem because he is an annoyance and a scam artist, but at least he doesn't have your personal details (which is only visible to admin).

Either way we've deleted his third profile and hopefully he won't try again.

It seems to be he goes to your shot bru profile and then emails you.

Thanks Kim.

At least this tells us that he doesn't have access to your personal e-mail address but tries to make contact through Shot Bru. His profile has been deleted again and we appreciate being informed of scam artists like this. Unfortunately it is difficult to stop him from signing up again because he does so with a different e-mail address each time.

We are just thankful that our Shot Bru contributors are experienced enough to spot a scam artist from a mile away and avoid communicating any further. We'll be sending out a notice to all members to be on the lookout for such shady characters.

Have an excellent week further.

Thanks Calvin, yes he emailed me, I did not see a message on my profile. Not all surfers can be good I am afraid, we hope he stays away.
