I think that myLot is infested with scam. What a pity! Here is a message I've received:
"Hello, I am Henry Kings , contacting you As the next of kin of my client late Engr. Victor , My client worked as an independent contractor here in Lome Togo. He has an estate what of US$9.7m. The management of the Finance Firm (His Bank)has issued me a notice as the personal attorney to the deceased costumer that I should present a next of kin so that the fund left behind in their custody should be released to him or her, So I thought it wise to contact you since you share the same surname with my late client Kindly contact me with your private email (GMAIL.COM ,YAHOOMAIL.COM OR HOTMAIL.COM) so that I will furnish you with more Details or you can write to me via either of my emails below and I will get back to you as soon as possible Best regards Henry Kings. Lome Togo. Email:barrhenrykings@gmail.com or henkings@live.com"

settings account message preference. Select: Only those I follow can message me.That should keep them out of your inbox.
I truly miss the old mylot when spamming was not allowed. Today I received this message from this scammer 'Henry Kings'. Do people really still fall for this...

That guy was just banned for sending those messages a few days ago. Let @GoAskAlice know what his new username is and he'll take care of getting rid of him again.

I'm pretty sure it's the same guy I banned the other day, but if he has returned, link me to the profile and I'll take care of it again.

@GoAskAlice Shoot, I didn't even think about the possibility it might have been the same account. That would explain why there's no profile coming up on the search!
