Apparently this person has multiple accounts, as I was asked for my "pass" from a 'madame marple'.

What surprises me is this is such an obvious con, that I can not imagine anyone falling for it.

Geez, What ever happened to the talented online con-artists. The ones today just take a boring straight forward shotgun approach. They sure have gotten lazy and uncreative lately.

P.S. Seeing how both names are take-offs of literary detectives, I'd avoid anyone named 'Sham Spade', 'Herbie Pooroot', or 'Chuckie Chan' :)

Also, POIROT, and you're correct.....about Madam Marple. This person said he's from "Portugual," & wanted to join my agency. I explained that OMEGA isn't competitve, & didn't have live players, except my spouse & I at this time. Then next I heard back saying, "Can I have your password please, so I can learn the game." Then another demanding it, at which time I blocked any further popups from him, & posted my thread about it here, probably at the same time you were posting this one Roxy..lol. Anyway, his demand for my password, I saved it, then copied & pasted it on my thread to show & warn everybody. Roxy I'm so relieved to read that I wasn't the only one that he demanded passwords from. Inspector arthur conan doyle, also sent me another message as POIROT, saying he was a good friend of inspectors and didn't like what was said. Apparently he was trying to scare me.....hehe...well, I got a good laugh. Ok, the jigs up inspector, you've been caught red handed & you're under citizens arrest..lol.

i think what's happening is that he's picking on subscribed, experienced detectives so he can change ur password and use ur detective. It's probably somebody who actually has some experience with the game. He's sent me 3 msgs claiming to be able to make my detective better... I like Elka the way she is... thank u

It continues to amaze me that the perpetually annoying, assume others to be equally dumb. Just PMd Ben.

I think he's starting in on Mojo. Thanks for the warning. Although,his asking for the password is pretty silly in my opinion.

No he is starting in on everybody. If we all happily press ignore, then he'll be gone by Monday. Ben checks the amount of blocks/ignores per IP address.

I prefer to give out fake passwords whenever I'm asked.
