    No - if it was unsolicited and not to do with PMR, report it.

      Report it - of course it is a scam!

      I've pm'd Alan to be sure he knows about it - you do it too if you have a contact for him.

    Hi Margaret,

    I have deactivated the user as I could see from his profile/post he was a scammer. If you ever receive a PM that you need to report there is a "Report" link on the message, just click that to report it.

    I've also edited the name of the user out of the discussion as this will get him in Google searches 😃.

    Alan

    Can you put the name up ? I have a private message suggesting I read a post, but I cannot locate any post. It could just be my problem tho, as I still have problems on the new 'improved' site and I don't use it very often any more.
