There's been a few reports of scam artists on the site recently, and the number of reports keeps increasing (Especially now that those with free accounts can contact subscribed members). Unfortunately we staff only have so many eyes and so much time, and we don't manually check PMs, so we need to ask for your help. If you are contacted by anyone asking for your email address, or who asks for money after chatting a while, please report it to the MODERATORS via the CONTACT PAGE (not a PM to me!) immediately. Taking 2 mins to contact us may save other people from falling into the traps set by these scam artists. Please remember NEVER to email anyone when asked to do so, you can guarentee the email will be bounced and you'll be added to spam lists... this is why email addresses in PMs are banned. Thanks

yea, some of them are so obvious :-) Makes our job easy though. Some aren't so easy though. There are some who will talk to you in perfect english for a while, get to know you etc, then get you to send them money abroad (If you were to be so stupid).

it's not that he signed off.... it's that his profile is hidden/disabled. You can disable your public profile under My Account/Profile.
