OfflineA happy 4th of July to our DG family and friends. I am sitting in our office on this beautiful Saturday morning going thru the new posts and pm's. I noticed I received a pm from a new DG member username vivian. I read thru the post and almost fell out of my chair laughing.
The pm is from a woman in Africa who inherited a huge sum of money from her father and picked me to invest it for her and also offers a 10% commission to boot!!
Now Jeremy and I like to consider ourselves pretty savy investors and for sure have had our share of ups and downs, but for sure we are not Dean Graziosi, Donald Trump and the rest of the best known investors in the world.
So my family please beware of this scam that has found it's way into our great site. It is one of the oldest scams around with different twists on it.
If you receive a pm with this type of offer attached to it, delete it, and report it to DG Admin
I know there are many of you out there who look for funding as Jeremy and I do but please don't open the door on something that has the potential to hurt you and your investing career.
All my best...Jan
I got the same thing
Is there no end to this????
I also got the same thing. But me being the nice guy that I am I gave them your number. Just send me 20% of the profits and everything will be cool. I would really like to know where the idiots come from. Maybe I will call him and see if i can sell him or her the golden gate bridge at a discount.

We also received it...what a disappointment, I had hoped it was only Craigs List or Ebay that we had to deal with scams. Dean's staff now has to deal with a way to delete the scams, maybe there's a way to put into the negative category.
For the info.. I get those all the time on my regular mail.. You would think by now, people would trace the IP address and bust these scammers! I love all of my DG family, you guys are a God send to me..
I'm getting something like that in my Yahoo account. They send me emails saying they are the son of the late president of **** (no offense to ****ns) who inherited millions and need somebody from America that they can trust to transfer the money and I am the one they choose. Some would say that they are British National (no offense please) saying that I won the Lottery and all they need is my contact info. Thanks for posting this. This will give everybody a heads up not to fall from this kind of SCAMS. Blessings to all. LA

love it, I guess this person doesn't know that this one is as old as the hills.
Got my pm this morning. New it was a scam right off. PULEEEASE!!!

Follow my progress at:

for the heads up. It is a typical scam - but there are always new and innocent people who arent aware of things like this, and would consider the offer coming on this site as a trustworthy one. So be advised, DG family, even our great site is not immune to the occasional scammers sneaking in. But with everyone watching out for each other we form a great united front to shut them down!
Have a great 4th celebration everyone!

Then the post was worth it. I kind of thought that it did go site wide. I just hope that there isn't anyone out there who is trying to put a deal together and falls for this crap. Just trying to help the family out...Jan

You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.”

Did not get it yet but at least I know what it looks and sounds like now. Got my eyes open....lol!
