We hit 32000 topics and 5000 members, all in the same day. I love those numbers. Still lots going on behind the scenes. More info as and when I can say of course.

Well, this is going to be interesting.
I’m off filming again next week, but this time with a bit of a twist. As usual, I can’t give specifics, but as soon as I can, I will. This one’s for a program that’ll air the end of June or beginning of July. I have to say that (and giving no specifics away) I’m […]
No, not greedy at all!
How to spot a scammer from Ghana: How much money did they demand?: 150000 then 15000 then 3000 then 1500
Not much going on right now.
It seems like there’s not much news lately. Believe me, that’s the total opposite of how it is. There’s lots going on actually, but it’s all still in the very early stages. That means we can’t talk about it right now. There’s like four different TV things being worked on, but we can’t name the […]

This drives me nuts!
We say this on our sextortion page, in red lettering: When we say “deactivate Facebook for two weeks”, we mean two weeks. Not two days or a week, but the full two weeks from the time the scammer last spoke to you at least. Changing the security settings isn’t enough. It HAS to be deactivated. […]
