You know, there is a whole sport that revolves around playing around with these Nigerian scammers. I forget the web site but they have a Wall of Fame where the players post pictures that they have gotten of their scammers doing crazy things and holding funny pictures.
As far as I know PMs are not a source of viruses or spyware. Attachments like word files could contain an embedded file that is a virus or spyware or such. I don't know how the system is set up for that.
But just opening a PM does not affect you.
__________________ Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
I tend to open everything sent to me, and click on every link, as well as hitting any "accept" button offered. When asked for a checking account number, I gladly give it (someone's anyways).

I am definently feeling very left out of the loop!

I received a PM from a Nurse1208321 asking for financial assistance for their education. I have not opened it, should I delete it?
I would totally delete it. I never even open forwarded mail from my friends. LOL! I tell them that I don't and they keep asking - Did you get that piece that I forwarded you?
I am still waiting for a PM stating that people will give me money!
Maybe you could get foreign aid from the U. S. Government!!!!!!!
