I didn't get this email, but did post a job on the job board and have gotten about 5 emails that replied, that were definately spam

Yep, got it at least at one of my business email addresses. And she seemed such a nice girl.

Wow....so the scammers have found Smaller Indiana! Those of us in the single world have been getting such e-mails for several years. They always have the same MO...I've had my members on meetup get them, my space, tagged, you name it. They always give an easy way to find them, usually a web site for the guys, and for us girls they are willing to relocate anywhere in the world for the right woman. I have a whole talk about this during my internet dating class. The first time you get hit with one, and they say all the right things...the wrong person can fall for it. The stories I could tell!

OMG! This is so freaky! I JUST got one of these! I'm pretty sure it's a scam or there's a virus attached. I say delete!

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
