It has been a long time since I showed up here but I wanted to alert everyone of someone trying to pull the classic Morocco scam using HubPages. This is the start of the email I received.

Dear please mail back to my private email to enable me to forward all the legal papers and documents of this money to you which the bank issued to my late father the day he deposited the money at the bank ( felix01_damians@yahoo.com
This characters needs to be hunted down and thrown out of here.
It's actually known as the Nigerian Scam.
Did you click on the link at the email that reports it as Spam or as Abuse?
Have received similar emails many times over the last few years, just report it as spam or what other option you have... The sad thing is that people still fall for this scam after all of these years..
I also have started recently getting emails about job offers that need me to complete lots of personal information in their application forms... The companies are all big respectable firms and the emails look "ok", but when you investigate it is related to some dodgy site in china or italy or elsewhere...
Simple rule never give out information to anyone.... I even had a phone call from someone claiming to be from my bank, wanting me to confirm my personal details!!
Give no one anything personal!!
The recurring scam emails I'm getting on my work email these days are fake Paypal emails and fake UPS emails - the UPS ones are especially bad as the link is virus ridden, so not to be opened!!!!
I have banned this user. In the future, please mark such emails as abuse and we will address them promptly.

Something very strange happened yesterday. Someone sent me an email via HubPages. The person, according to my knowledge, was not a HubPages member. He wrote to me:"I want to post an article on your website: https://turbofuture.com/ Please let me know what the guest post price is at the site....

Iv'e been receiving more and more emails like the one below from new Hubbers. (names changed to protect the innocent, the Hubber was not actually called xxxxxxxxxxxxx. Not a bad idea though) Is Hubpages branching out as a Dating Service or is this a new wave Scam about to hit HubPages.

Is it just me? I usually gets quite a few notices of new hubs, although they've been showing up in my bulk folder. But I haven't gotten any at all in two or three days! Is no one publishing new hubs, or has my Yahoo mailbox gone bonkers?
