I received this private message twice. A scam, most likely.

What tipped you off?
Jean de Florette is a 1986 period drama film directed by Claude Berri, based on a novel by Marcel Pagnol. It is followed by Manon des Sources. The film takes place in rural Provence, where two local farmers plot to trick a newcomer out of his newly inherited property.

I thought it was weird that you had to pay in either Bitcoin or Starbucks gift cards.

The other thread is locked.
Can anyone pm all registered users on this board? I don't know a thing about website programming, but that seems less than ideal. I didn't even know that pm'ing EVERYONE was possible, other than by board admin, but if possible it should probably be restricted to registered users of a certain minimum time, minimum posts, etc - if possible.

Re: Anybody else get this private message offer? Scam alert
Locking this one, too. I immediately banned the user, but had to make the group public to send out BerserkerDay announcements - I just forgot to shut it back down. Need to open it back up on the 27th, then shut it back down since these jerks take advantage of it
Apparently I'm lazy, have a narrow agenda, and offer little in the way of content and substance (RMP) (and have a "penchant for gossip" -KBI)
