What bothers me most about the scammer in our midst? That he thinks I'm that dumb.

What should bother you is that it apparently works often enough to make the effort worthwhile. I'd worry more about those you share the planet with, who are fooled by the scammer 😂

I assume this thread is about the multiple spams, the Mods have been made aware.

Having a worthless miserable life stinks, and some are well deserving of it.

Hopefully if you see a suspected scammer you are reporting with the post or PM. That way the mods/admins can look and take action as needed.

Yes, it is sad and frustrating that someone has to try to screw others over with their scamming activity, and all we can do it kick them off the forum when made aware of it.

Those threads have been removed by a forum Mod, the OP was probably banned along with his IP address.

The contents of the posts were in a foreign language, when translated by the forum engine the messages were incoherent.

Likely a scripted bot that doesn't care or can't even process what you think.
