I've received 3 private messages in my Mexconnect account so far today from "darlingsloved" all three say "I salute you." Obvious spam, but why? Is anyone else getting these?

I have received a private message from the same person as well, but it says a lot more then "I SALUTE YOU'.

I miss her she was so sweet. Sadly she is mad at me and I didn't get any emails or messages from her. (:

Oh, yes if I can borrow some money from you that would be great. I have a friend in Nigeria who is going to bring me a suitcase full of gold if I just send him $8,732.12 US dollars more.

The sad thing was I knew someone who had fallen for this scam here near lake Chapala and his children had to come and get him and take him back up north. And this is true, he kept on asking me if he could borrow money, because he could tell that this guy was for real. He finally gave up on me when I told him, I didn't have any more money, because I had sent it all to someone in Nigeria who had promised to bring me not gold, but gold coins.

We joke about it, but sadly there are still some out there who fall for this stuff.
