A Possibly New BP Scam

[Redleg27]

I'm going to cross post this in a few Virginia forums since it comes from BP. Sorry if you see it more than once.

I answered an ad in the "no strings" section or "casual" or whatever they call it. And I got a response I've never seen before. Had to read a couple times before I realized it was a scam and not a legit message. Here's the edited for my protection version:

Now I've never gotten one like this before. The part to look out for is after IMPORTANT NOTICE. It seems like a new (new to me, anyway) sneakiness.

So, fellas, if you get a message saying your message didn't get thru, re-read it carefully. This one was kinda slick, and I almost automatically fell for it. Which, I suppose is what they're banking on.

Check your six,

W

Thanks for reporting this incident!
