Yes, clearly not a reader, clearly scammish.
I have the power to delete it, and a bunch of others from a couple of recurring addresses that look like someone smashed their forehead into their keyboard, and I keep wondering if I should, or if that would just encourage them.
On the other hand, I do get messages in uncertain English from total strangers that are legitimate. It's a puzzle.
Flagging might well be a middle way, or at least make it someone else's problem. What actually happens when you flag something?
Ta, L.

However, that's the first time I've flagged something on here, so I don't know what their actual resolution process is. Perhaps more flags = higher priority, so if everyone who sees it flags it perhaps it will get taken care of sooner? I assume that, like most places, they will also ban the account responsible - not that creating another is difficult but it would hopefully slow the scammer down.
