I got two (2) as well from someone using the name 'Tina'. Methinks someone is worming.

I've not received any weird direct messages.
You all need to get a hold of Domergurl. She is the Moderator for the Indiana board.

Finally, something spicy on our lil' ol Indiana forum. Very weird. Sounds like a hooker or mail order bride prospect to me.But why does she need a real estate agent?

I am sure Domergurl will track her down and get things straightened out. Hey, it may not even be a 'she'.
After the initial 'introductory offer' message, I haven't heard anything further.

I think they refer to these posts as "fishing." Throw a bunch out there and see who bites. |
