Hi Rose, Yes, obvious scams is something I report immediately too. Here's what I do now: Whenever I get an ad as a msg internally here at Adland I check to see if the person is on my list of friends by clicking on the user and then inivite me to be friends. Much easier to see if you're a friend already than looking through your list to see if the person is there. If the person is on my friends list I check it out and reply. If the person is not on my list I reply with: Hi name, How about saying hi first? Roger You know they don't care much when they haven't even bothered to write in your name in their msg to you.
