You can report it to one of the Senior Moderators for action.

Thanks

Becky Thatcher, eh? I had no idea Nigerian type scammers had read Tom Sawyer!

Anyway, possibly the easiest way of dealing with an issue like this is to use the "Alert a moderator to this post " function - the little red-edged, white triangular radio button with the exclamation point, in a forum with no appointed moderators.

Fill out the resultant text box with the full details. As the forum (like this one) has no moderators, the message will go to the four Senior Moderators.

Alternatively, forward us the Private Message or e-mail in question. We are happy to handle these. (As we are also volunteers with work, family and travel in our lives, you may want to send a P. M. to ALL of us for faster response.)

We are:
