Is there any way we can filter out these types of messages altogether? It is nothing more than a scam. This is a request to the administrator of this site. Please keep them off as they may trap some unsuspecting and kind hearted photographer. Since I joined this site I can't wait for the next days link. It is a fun site and do not want it ruined by these kinds of things. Thanks to All

It's kind of sad but there are folks out there that fall for these. Some gullible or just naive folks get fooled every day or you wouldn't see these feeble attempts.
