I have just been ask to pay some ones bills this person has come to me before on another site . Can this be handle by administrations.
LOL, at least you don't get people come up to you in the street and ask for money like in Newport where I live.
Hey if anyone wants to pay my bills....start with my mortgage and work down! LOL sadly there's nothing anyone can do - simply ignore the email!
i just do not understand people like this. We all need help at one time or another but to have the gull to approach someone in this manner just burns my britches.and to top it off i feel like she is stalking me through the web because she ask before at another site that i was on. Am i just paraniod or what???
If anyone has the urge to pay anyone's bills please contact me directly and I will provide you somewhere safe to keep your money for the next few hundred years!
My guess would be that this is plain old spam, and you were not the only one who received a message.
I recall getting an email one time from a popular hubber (she and I had previously emailed many times) asking for money. I immediately knew it was not her and contacted her at another email address. Her email account had been hacked.
Call it spam and ignore it. This will likely not be the last time you receive such a message...
There's no need to involve administrations. If you politely decline, I'm sure they won't ask again. I had someone ask for donations on one of my Hubs (not a Hubber)...I didn't reply but I didn't delete the comment either. Maybe someone else could donate.
Some people are genuinely broke. (obviously, some are spam.)
I imagine it will happen again, just to other people. I'd report it.

Has a middle-class person approached you asking for money recently? (middle class = judging by the type of clothing and not being unkempt) And were you asked for money in an unusual place, like a middle-class shopping center?I’m in Southern California, and people are asking me for money every...

Does anyone make money from poems?When I say make money, I am asking if you make money on Hubpages and if that amount is anything significant. I am not asking anyone for anything too specific - I don't want to be in breach of any TOS.

Being asked for money on the street-- any good stories?I remember some sad situations which I will always remember, but some of the funnier ones: The guy with the sign "Need money for beer-- drunk but truthful," the guy who told me he needed money for heat as he'd gotten...
