Srilal < you may wish to block,
I just arrived home after visiting my physician, and I am taking my father in for some tests. As I was away there was one man that seemed nice, and has great content - however I have had a few private messages and I received on my self for a request for money.
On the internet I believe that you have to see it as it's the internet. As he has been requesting money. I have taken him off my blog. There are a few things that you never do as a rule of thumb on here. And that is you never ask people from money.
I thought I would mention this as I have reported him to Multiply as well I have taken him off as a contact.
If I may say, I do not have the most people on my messenger and I most often never open it up and add the people from my blog on it. So if you do have a person from Sir Lanka that is soliciting you - I think that you will want to block the person. Sometimes we do not really know who people are on the internet. It's a hard call, but it's something that I do not believe in. As there are many avenues that a person can do within there own city or town, and requesting money is not for the internet.
Yeah, I block people for a lot less :D
ReplyDeleteExcept for poems, where I conform to the rules, I have contacts only.
ReplyDeletewow....usually these kinds are telling me I won money that I can have if I give them money. lol
ReplyDeleteI'd have blocked and reported him too.
me too
ReplyDeleteReporting the user was the correct thing to do. Very inappropriate for an internet contact!
ReplyDeletehi! have a nice evening!!!
ReplyDeleteYeh I got home after my appointment and I logged on for a moment and could see what he was doing - so I just thought within my contacts I would write as this was the first thing sent to me and two others. So, rather than have something spread, It' better to contain it. I reported as this is not the arena from which I wish to have that kind of thing, and for a first post to be asking for money, it comes down to rather ordinary instincts.
ReplyDeleteAnyways....:)
Thanks. You're doing us all a favor when you identify and blacklist these people.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been bothered by people asking for money. I think ya did the right thing by blocking and reporting though.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jack, these people go through your friends lists to see who they can get to, good thing you blocked him from yourself and all of us... :-). You are a good friend... ((Hugs))
ReplyDeleteYeah I got home Charlie and I I had three people that had Private messaged me, and I clicked open and accepted this person and within seconds or before I accepted him, some within the way networks and configurations are - may have been impacted by way of whom is a contact of mine. Due Diligence as I had to leave shortly thereafter.
ReplyDeleteYou never know if it really is an outcry. But at the same time, you would thing that even on the internet that one would not ask for money but I guess I am from another world. But I do believe that one does not ask strangers for money. Internet or elsewhere....
Norma, do you block your phone from solicitors? I do!
ReplyDeleteDe nada Peeks!
ReplyDeleteI do!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip, I will block that one too.
ReplyDeleteMost don't and it's annoying...it's like telephone "spam". :)
ReplyDeleteyikes! thanks for the heads up Jack.... (i always use caller ID... if we don't know who is calling, it goes straight to voice mail)
ReplyDeleteWhat did we do before all these gizmos...hmmm...
ReplyDeleteI got a letter today saying a relative had died in a car accident in Spain and had no family. I was to inherit 2 million but needed to share with this supposed lawyer who couldn't spell or construct a sentence and the paper was like toilet tissue....I tore it up and trashed it....scam.
ReplyDeleteCan you spare a 5$ ?
ReplyDeleteJust getting in I have spent, and Mimi what is your intention?
ReplyDeleteI am not serious but I get on here and I have no clue what your talking about...
There is no achilles heel hear mais amis...
I think mimi was making fun of the idiots who ask for money online
ReplyDeletelmao thank you Cinna! I think I even snorted laughing when I posted that earlier!
ReplyDeleteThings that people do on the internet!
ReplyDeleteHad better be careful...Glad that you've blocked that person!
Enjoy your weekend!
Hugs to you Lettie - and then some.
ReplyDeleteThe weekend is here now...
Yep..it is now, but I didn't feel like it is as I had to go to work today...busy at work and it is good. Will take time relaxing tomorrow...Hugs back!
