I just got a private message which is one of those scams offering me millions if I'll send them my banking info. That's not a good sign, getting scammed on a forum.

I didn't get one on here or on any of my email accounts. I do know that one police dept in my state did get a similar scam though through the squad car cell phone this afternoon. A friend of mine is a cop up North now and posted on FB that while he was in the squad car, the squad cell rang so he answered it to find out it was the scam phone call. He said since it was already busy today for his dept. that he just hung up thinking it was an April fools prank.
