SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dont tell them anything!!! dont even give them your paypal!!!!!!


We have had this going on on some of our local sites....

I'd email them back stating that you have their I.P. address and have passed it along to local law enforcement, and have nstructed them to pass it on to FBI....they will never send you another email...

i kinda figured it's a scam. the only info i gave to the person was my cell # on the first email he/she sent. just curious, what would happen if i send my paypal email adress out? i don't think they can scam me with paypal address, can they?
