Yes, I saw this too. I deleted this member, banned their IP address, and permanently restricted any future registrations with email addresses originating from france. Let me know if you see it again.

I deleted this same post early yesterday morning, and it looks like they tried again immediately. Good job, Chris.

Scott had the same problem. Let me send you a PM to see if it clears it out.. probably just a cookie issue with your browser..

I've got the bling bling blinky mail icon too.

Poor girl, all that money and no where to run.

You think she's related to Jessica Alba?

I just deleted the PM and figured Chris would delete her whole signup data. I have to wonder how many people are dumb enough to fall for this nonsense that it's worth while for people like her to do this kind of stuff. As bad as she is, I don't feel sorry for anyone dumb enough to fall for this stuff.
