  Yes it was someone showing a French flag. Very quickly introduced herself with a female name but the avatar shows a male character.

  That doesn't mean a lot. Back in the flash days when putting using the avatar movements and  the female movements seemed more logical I played with a female avatar but told everyone I played with I was male.,

  Yes, the good old Flash days, I remember them well.

  I note that one of the earlier posters in this thread has now taken it upon himself to give a French lady the heads up on her wall regarding this thread.

  Assuming that she is the same person, then I'm sure she'll be along very soon to explain herself and her actions.

  Unless he's a troublemaker (and maybe even siding with her) trying to stir things up.

  I agree with Brian here. That's what I thought when I said earlier "The player seems to play lots of skins & alternative shot games and perhaps that's how she seeks people who would hand her over their password."

  It's the year 2024 and we learned in the 1900s not to give out PWs to anyone.  😵‍💫

  Judging by the popularity of 'password' and '1234' you don't even need to give it out!  8 )

  How secure is my password.

  And yet, there are people who still do it. Not saying anyone in this thread did it, but it still happens.

  In other words, there are lots of people who still haven’t learned not to give their passwords out to anyone.

  I note that the possible scammer is still playing the game (despite her insistence that she was leaving imminently) and has made no less than 10 new friends in the past week.

  I wonder whether she's had any success yet - I hope not.
