Odd that someone would spam a chess site, of all places.

Particularly as they'd get banned the minute they appeared, as seems to have happened.

I don't even see anyone by that name.

If they were banned, it would still show them on "find player".

Perhaps there is a prerequisite, such as number of games/moves/length of membership etc.

Behave yourself Mike!

I don't think they show up on "find player" if they've never started a game.

Ho do you know they are Nigerian?

I am Welsh and send requests like that to Nordlys all the time.

I still don't have her bank details, but I reckon I am not far off.

Do you have a problem, in that the majority of spams concerning money requests come from Nigeria? It's a known common problem.

If you are accusing me of racism then spit it out!

Not accusing you of being a Racist.

Nigeria is not the worst offender.
And to be totally honest with you, while requests from that domain are normally quite transparent, there are far worse offenders that have adopted a more serious approach to deception.

Mining PII data these days has become surprisingly easy, do you think in the early days it was ever considered how non-educated computer users were going to interact on a global network.

Anti-virus and firewall technology can never protect from ignorance.

Nancy is just doing what the larger companies do, just differently.

The Internet is a wonderful experiment and the best of it is, it is all documented.

I like that "it's all documented".

Nothing to hide, in essence.

Yet, talk about I/D cards with history of one on them, and that they may locate and follow your position - people go wild.

Location and my time documented... what no. I believe they are the people who do need the tracking.

Aren't they the real culprits who need to be watched and montored - the objectors?

I'd be interested on your thoughts, as I think we are of similar track. 😉
