Dating scam Jan 19, 2013

Nothing new here, this is the classic dating scam that is usually filtered out by our systems, but sometimes they find a way through the filters. Actions have been taken in this case.

Don't worry, be happy that she fell in love with you so much as to contact you via ProZ.

Um, did this person confuse "Proz" which the other old profession?

Nevertheless @Lee, I envy you for being propositioned. Doesn't happen to me a lot these days.

Don't cry, Julian. It can happen to you sooner than you think. And Lee has already taken care of it, too.
