I received a message in my profile on this site. It says it was sent 3 weeks ago, but I just saw it today. It goes as follows....

  • Mercy Neil
    Greetings to you, I am Mrs. Mercy Neil, a British resident in Lome, Togo Republic and widow of late Victor Neil, an Engineer of PDMS UK Oil Company. He died after a Cardiac Arteries Operation. I am currently undergoing treatment for ovarian cancer in a hospital here in Lome - Togo, but recently, my doctors told me that my condition has worsened and obviously cannot survive unless by special grace of God. We were married for thirty three years without children. Before the death of my husband, we agreed to donate the sum of Five million five hundred thousand dollars (US$ 5, 500,000) in a bank here with the hope for establishment of Humanitarian project. As you have accepted the offer, you will be entitled to 20% of the total money as operating expenses or compensation, while the rest will be used for humanitarian projects. The purpose of the donation is for humanitarian purposes as God fearing person to use it to support orphanage, homes for the elderly, widows and propagating the word of God. You are required to send the following information to my direct mail: 1. Your full names 2. Full address 3. Age 4. Occupation 5. Telephone It will be handed over to my Lawyer for the process to obtain the High Court Affidavit on your name which will be submitted to my bank for the transfer of the project fund. This required faster processes before my health gets worst as my days are numbered according to the doctor. I am confined to the hospital always in pain. I do not have much strength to talk on phone because doctors are always against stressing me. I receive mach pain, injections which make me drowsy all the time of which the Nurse is helping me. E-mail me: mercy4neil@gmail.com God in His infinite mercy will surely bless you, but do not fail to always pray for me. Yours sincerely, Mrs. Mercy Neil.

we occasionally seem sort reports of this, though it's limited as the messaging service has limitations on daily sent messages. We're considering adding other protections such as perhaps a flag that a user can only receive messages from friends or followers, which should remove even these small amounts of spam. As the messages are pure text (i.e. not html) there's no danger, just delete and ignore them
