Not a program scam this, but still a type of scam, so be careful if you receive any PM`s like this.

Who would be gullible enough to fall for this though?

I`ve stopped being surprised by how many gullible individuals there are in this arena, Hardlyworkin.

Throw enough of these around and some will stick.

These scammers probably bank on just a few getting results - sooo easy pickings.

Hello, i don\'t normally do this, but i am emailing to ask if i could borrow $100 of egold, i cannot access my account just now as i am not at home, and will pay you back $130 when i do get home, being the owner of talkgold.com you can be assured im not going to scam you, if you can help me please send $100 to my account xxxxxxx (deleted by me).

i will pay you back tonight when i get home with $30 profit, or can give your advertising credits

Clearly as Brian has responded this WASN`T sent by HIM, but it does appear that they are crawling out of the woodwork trying it on.
