Be warned some people may attempt to contact you through this site. Someone commented on my profile, so it emailed me the comment. They promptly deleted both the compliment and their account. Out of natural curiosity I replied. Don't indulge these people though, really don't.
Here is everything that has transpired so far:

Good Day,
How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back
to me on:(sanponggershon@hotmail.com) for the full details.
Have a nice day
Thanks God bless.
Mr Sanpong Gershon,

I emailed them the above original comment along with "What is it you needed to contact me about?"
They replied with:
Hello (My last name, it was in my email *derp*(There is no way he would have known it from solely looking at my Fashion Tech profile. I will censor all recurrences of my last name as: ██████)
I have been in search of someone with this " ██████ ", so when I saw your name I was pushed to contact you and see how best we can assist each other. I am Mr Sanpong Gershon,a banker with one of the leading banks here in Accra Ghana West Africa ,I believe it is the wish of God for me to come across you now. I am having an important business discussion I wish to share with you which I believe will interest you because, it is in connection with your last name and you are going to benefit from it.
One Late Dr. Alexander ██████, a citizen of your country had a fixed deposit with my bank in January 2006 for 36 calendar months, valued at US$7,000,000.00 (Seven Million Dollars) the date for this deposit contract was the 16th of January 2009. Sadly Dr. Alexander ██████,was among the death victims in the May 26 2006 Earthquake disaster in Jawa, Indonesia that killed over 2,000 people. He was in Indonesia on a business trip and that was how he met his end. My bank management is yet to know about his death, I knew about it because he was my friend and I am his account officer. Dr Alexander did not mention any Next of Kin/ Heir when the account was opened, and Dr Alexander decieded not remary again since the death of his wife. Last week my Bank Management requested that I should give instructions on what to do about his funds, if to renew the contract. I know this will happen and that is why I have been looking for a means to handle the situation, because if my Bank Directors happens to know that Dr Alexander is dead and do not have any Heir, they will take the funds for their personal use, so I don't want such to happen. That was why when I saw your last name I was happy and I am now seeking your co-operation to present you as Next of Kin/ Heir to the account, since you have the same last name with him my bank will release the fund to you without much quastion since they can only do according to my instruction.
There is no risk involved; the transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you and I from any breach of law. It is better that we claim the money, than allowing the Bank Directors to take it, they are rich already. I am not a greedy person, Let the ratio be, 60/40 , my share will assist me to start my own company which has been my dream.
The most important thing now is the information mention below, i need this information to fit in the account file so that you will be recognised as the next of kin of this deposit, please forward the information so that we can proceed if you are ready to handle this with me, this transfer can be finalised within few days if you follow my instructions. I really want us to treat everything concerning this transaction with uttermost secrecy, so be careful and never tell any person about this. My address and contact are as follows;
Waiting for your urgent response, with info below.
1. Your Name
2. Postal Address
3. Date of Birth
4. Telephone and fax numbers
5. Profession with position
Thank you very much.
Mr. Sanpong

My reply to this:
This is most OBVIOUSLY a scam. I do not believe this and I do not have any relatives named ALEXANDER. I have an extensive family tree to prove this. I will not disclose any more of my personal information to you and 'Santamoor' is not actually my last name. These are the reasons why I do not put my last name on the internet. Good luck stealing someone else's identity, or BETTER YET get a job and acquire money through an honest living. I have the right of free speech and I WILL post this correspondence on the internet for the world to see. Good day sir, good day.
Don't bother attempting to contact me further. I presumed this would be a scam so I only provided you with my spam email that I never use.

Thank you guys for your time! Be safe and don't give out information to strangers. Good night.
