Moderators KayC Posted May 23, 2022 Moderators Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 People can be very vulnerable in new grief. This is a warning to anyone getting this message or one like it...do not engage...just someone preying on us. I have no use for people like this. He's not looking for "friendship" and likely hasn't bothered reading your posts. My friend got the same exact "message" the day before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members annie123 Posted May 23, 2022 Members Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 Kay, I received the same message on Saturday. I just ignored it. My instinct said, this is phony. I don't understand how someone can do this to people who are grieving. I won't respond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DMB Posted May 23, 2022 Members Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 Kay I just came by here today and received one as I was typing a reply. Gross. Thanks for the warning I'm not going to open it. Edited to say: It was the same message that you received. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gail 8588 Posted May 24, 2022 Members Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 Kay, I also received the same message. I reported it and have now deleted it. I just hate that scumbags like this are trying to take advantage of grieving people. Thanks for alerting everyone! Gail 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators KayC Posted May 24, 2022 Author Moderators Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 I did NOT remove my message from him but it's gone. So is his profile. However Mavis Adams is there, no posts, joined a couple of weeks ago. I'm not sure how he's doing this but I reported it to Kelly. This one is a little trickier than most spammers, harder to trace/eradicate. This isn't over yet. 14 hours ago, annie123 said: The name has changed on my message, from Derek Mavis to Mavis Adams. Still the same dishonest piece of ____!! Is your message still there? Mine is missing...can you please post a picture of it? The only proof we have of what he's doing. BTW "Mavis" photo is a man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Popular Post Gail 8588 Posted May 24, 2022 Members Popular Post Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 I don't for a minute think this guy is trying to "date" people here, I believe he is looking for people to swindle. Vulnerable people that he will take money from after pretending to be a friend. Just my opinion. Gail 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Santiaga hits you up, report it. Can always block Mavis but that doesn't protect our newbies who are vulnerable so best to report him there too! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members annie123 Posted May 25, 2022 Members Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Thanks Kay, I sure will report it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Popular Post Kelly Posted May 25, 2022 Administrators Popular Post Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Hi all, I banned Mavis. If he pops up again let me know. We want you all unbothered by this type of behavior here at Grieving.com. If there are others who DM you please send their screen name to guardians@grieving.com. I will get to them as soon as possible. Kay C is helping keep an eye on things too. Elyse and I (we are the co-owners) do work other full time jobs so there maybe a delay but we will check throughout the day. Kelly 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can search members for the name if you wonder, I did...both profiles gone. If he pops up with a new one, report it.
