This is a young lad (15?) who claims to have found an easy way of making money from the internet. He's trying to involve other members to get involved. I've taken it out of circulation and set him the following PM
"Hi,
I have nothing against anyone earning a bit of money, but I get the feeling that there may well be a scam behind this, somewhere.
Will you please pm me the link, so that some of the mods can check it over, before it's allowed it onto the open forum.
Please don't think that I'm picking on you or trying to spoil your little enterprise, but we (i.e. the mods) have the best interests of all our members at heart, including you, of course. We'd prefer no-one gets their fingers burnt!
Best

I'll wait and see what he has to say for himself. Maybe he's just over-enthusiastic, 15 year olds get that way, I seem to remember :lol:

chaisewilson reminds me a lot of these scammers from Nigeria. He says he is 15 and from Michigan, but writes in broken English. He is very formal with the language, and even mentions singing in church. This is intended to make a person trust you I believe.
I dont want to be a spammer and please do not think of me trying to scam you I to thought this was a scam untill i recieved my 1st check in the mail!!!
and please do not contact me if you do not need the money i want to extend this to the unemployed and young players PLEASE DO NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME!!!!

Maybe I am too suspicious by nature, but all of this reminds me of these African scammers. They try very hard to impress you with their honesty, sincerety, and goodwill.
Then they take all your money. :wink:

I've been seeing a number of similar posts lately but I've just deleted them instead of sending them to EL. For some reason, we've become a target for these schemes lately. I suppose it's the price of success.

It's a scam. You'll be asked to pay an enrollment fee, or buy materials or information to get you started. They probably also ask you to pay by credit card, or ask for your bank account number.
The guy is a crook.
