Scammers and Stalkers and Jerks, Oh My!
What the heck is going on here at WA? Since I started in 2009, I haven't seen so many instances of crazy nonsense going on. One jerk is trying to steal referrals and several others are hitting on women. Then, you have others that seem to be trying to scam people as well.
Let's just keep vigilant and report these idiots. To the idiots - none of your ploys will work. You are going to be reported. I for one, will be turning you in and I know other conscientious members will do the same! You have been warned!
Maybe it's the full moon last night. Who knows?
Let's keep WA free from this nonsense!
Best Regards,
Jim

I had a stalker contact me but thankfully another member contacted me and warned me.
I thought something was fishy so I wasn't giving out anything that was personal.
Be ware ladies there is a stalker out there by the name of cheerbrian.

I got hit by the same schmuck. This is a business & education portal--NOT a dating site! Sheeeesh!
When he started his conversation with "I hope this doesn't lead to a proposal" my red flags went up and up high.
I'm sorry this happened to you also but I agree I am here to learn a business not find a guy. I could go to a bar for that.

I had no idea this was a big problem here. I think maybe I have gotten 1 or 2 spam in the approx. 9 months since I've been here, both of which I reported (I'm not in the loop)! ;-)
So far nobody's approached me with a scam, but they won't do it twice as they'll get shot down, or worse.
The good news is that each time some of those jerks show up...usually the community here is fast to react and they get banned quickly.
But yeah I agree it has been a lot especially the last day...
Hi Jim, I feel as though I've been hit by a sidecar on the freeway. I'm really thrilled to know that people here are quick on the draw to pin down these vigilantes.
I totally agree, Jim. WA is such a great place to be with like minded people who don't have time nor energy to deal with spammers or creeps. I have my share of creeps on FB and I'm not even a young chick!
We just need to remain vigilant AND I know Kyle and/or Carson will take care of them.

Agree - can't remember ever having quite so many cases of spammers, stalkers and referral thieves all in a day!
To everyone here - if you notice any such activity, please press the Report Spam button.

Hey Isabella, I had to start wondering if I missed all of March and if we somehow jumped right to April 1st. LOL
They are everywhere, Jim!
I came across one recently trying to promote a product to me via PM. I easily spotted this because what he was doing didn't need to be privately sent to me.
Thanks for sharing!
We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto!
Thank you for the warning. I hope the scammers, stalkers, and jerks all leave.
