Scam artist messaging community

I just got an email from a user named Mintgroup. He sent me a link to an obvious scam. It was a site to add authorized users to your accounts to help them build their credit and you get paid while you have them on your account. I just wanted to make everyone aware of this scam artist on the board.

For once it's a good thing to be a low scoring rebuilder...I don't get scam messages. HA!

Thanks a lot. When you report someone what does that mean? I figure if you ban them their account is deleted.

I figure if you were a low score rebuilder they would target those people more with promises to increase score. I also would think that a high credit score would show that you have good credit monitoring.
