WARNING!!!!
I received comments (& 2 Eprops yet!) from a scammer that opened an account on XANGA 8/7/07. (S)he claims to have come into a fortune (millions of dollars) and is looking for someone in a foreign country to use their bank account to hold this money in trust for him/her, etc. I know you’re much smarter than that, to fall for such foolishness but I want to warn you, nevertheless. I reported this site to XANGA but there’s really nothing on it that is in violation. This person is just using a membership to do criminal acts of fraud by posting messages & comments.
Please be wise as serpents & harmless as doves!!! Give no time or place to the devil. Even attempting to contact this person out of curiosity or trying to conduct your own investigation could leave you a victim. These types of people know how to get information about you without you knowing, or without you even agreeing to buy into their offer. Please, I beg of you, this is how the identities of some people are stolen and/or their bank accounts wiped out. BEWARE!!!
Here is how the comments read (I crossed out the email address):
