OK maybe you guys can tell me how to report this, but I also wanted to give a heads up to everyone. And if it's already come up, my apologies for duplicating. In the middle of the night I got a ping on my phone that said I had email. I checked it, and it says that joeloa666 has started a new personal conversation with me. It looks like all the other notifications I get from VST and there's the link to click to connect to the VST site. But it also shows the body of the email I've supposedly been sent on VST, and it say the following:

"My name is Luka Chachibaia, I am a citizen of Ukraine and the Vice President Operations of Tethys Petroleum, a multi-national oil corporation operating from London-England, UK. I am seeking your assistance to retrieve the sum of($40,000.000) Forty Million Dollars consisting of two consignment boxes.This money was acquired from the company and it was accompanied by a diplomat to the U.S.A, my reason for this is because I have been cheated out of my entitlements by the company for too long simply because I am not a British. The contact details of the diplomat will be given to you if you indicate your interest to help me.Each of the boxes contains $20M and for your help I am ready to release 30% to you, for security reasons the consignment was registered to be CONFIDENTIAL DIPLOMATIC DOCUMENTS and I can explain why it was declared so. Bear in mind that the diplomat is not aware of the content of the consignment, it has been there for the past 1 month while I intend to look for a reliable partner.I will be leaving the country immediately the consignment is delivered to you for my private investment and I have vowed never to step back into London, England. Please, I need your urgent response before my plans to leave the company is discovered.Right now the safest form of correspondence is through my own e-mail address, please in the interest of confidentiality only reply through my direct email address ( chachibaialuka566@yahoo.com.hk ) Reply along with your direct phone and fax number where I can alternatively reach you on.More about me on: http://www.tethyspetroleum.com/tethys/static/EN_US/au_seniormanagement.html ,Please if you are not willing and interested in helping me kindly delete this email from your email and pretend you never got it.Best regards,Mr.Luka Chachibaia Vice President Operations Tethys Petroleum.London, England"

SERIOUSLY? Not a Nigerian prince this time? Do people really sometimes fall for this crap? they must, if people keep doing it! I expect this in hotmail or yahoo mail, but not through VST. So I separately opened a browser & logged into VST to reply to this nitwit and give him what-for, but lo & behold....there is no such personal message in my VST mailbox. I can only guess that the link in the notification that supposedly would take me directly to VST is false and possibly - probably- harmful.

ugh.

I got that email too. Someone already reported it and I guess this guy is banned now.

Wow, how lucky of you to be offered such a generous sum from a stranger!
