 Monitor Alert: Possible scam using Gnu private messages
Dear Members & Monitors: Have just received private message from 'Anitta', new member with no posts, offering business proposition in Zimbabwe. According to her, the President there seized white farms (true), including her father's, and she is offering partnership business proposition to help rectify situation. Have not checked details, but on surface RESEMBLES the long-running Nigerian scams out of Lagos, of which I have received many. Even if legitimate, it has no business being connected with Gnutella. 'Anitta' used Gnutella resources to obtain means to contact me as a member. THIS IS A SERIOUS BREACH of Gnutella's purpose and should be promptly investigated. Any monitors or senior members have my unqualified permission to look at the private message just sent to me by 'Anitta' and look into details. As a member in good standing, I expect a reply about what is being done about this important matter.
Yours truly, caseybob
