There was a post about this last night as well. I had the same thing happen last year.

It is a scam, a horny guy, something. I just wonder who replies to them that they keep trying.

Apparently you are not the first person to get this message today. I don't know if it's the same person as no names were mentioned in the other post, but I would just ignore it at this point.

Just my opinion.

It reads just like the phishing emails you get in your personal email. Broken english, poor sentence structure etc.
DON'T send them any money, lol.

Haha! I love how "she" capitalizes Profile, but not any names!!

On a serious not, change your password. Preferably something really difficult.

ooh man Molly!!!

I AM SOOOO jealous!!! I didn't get this!!! (I'm crying now!!) :)

I would ignore it. She can post her picture on her profile here and let people get to know her through her answers and questions.

However......you could have many possibilities with her!! OOHHH THE FUN!!! nah...you're too nice to do what I am thinking!!!

sounds like you got an email from a spammer who has broken into a friend's email. Ignore, do not open pr press on any links. If you already did open something, change your password on your email account to something with complicated ##s and cap letters ASAP.

You reply to the email and they use your email to send spam to a whole bunch of other people. I have gotten those in different formats, claiming they saw me on some site or other. I sent to my spam folder and then deleted.

Obviously, this is a man looking to meet women.
Or someone targeting you for a scam.
Report and ignore.

I get ones like this on on other sites but have not gotten it on MP. It's some kind of scam -- report and block.

Report it. Maybe MP can ban the account, although it might show up under another account. Reminds me of those Nigerian scams.

Its not necessarily for hacking it is guys trying to contact women desperate enough to marry them for green card. I used to get these all the time especially when I was active in a couple of dating sites.. Just report as spam.
