Scam!! Here is why you got it! (and will get more!)

I strongly advise that you remove your email from your profile! It is visible to everyone in the world, not just members! It will be like a magnet attracting spams, scams, and perverts! Remove it, and just use MM's private internal messages with members. Don't trust any contact you get solely by email! You will likely still get some scams for a bit, as you are now on lists worldwide, as an easy target!

Also visible are MM's Tags, Photo Comments, Castings, and these Forums, so don't put anything private there, either.

Enjoy the site!

Yes, I did. But after getting a few more "human-like" emails from him I figured why not ask the community?

I did some more research and you guys were all right, SCAM!

this is in the newbie section for a reason....your comment was not helpful

To the OP ..there are many MM members who are very nice, you're best option is to read all of the links for beginners that people have suggested

good luck:)

People won't tell you things are a scam just for the hell of it you know wink

This is one of the more obvious ones.
