BEWARE! RUBA SCAM MESSAGING YOU AROUND QL!

Today I checked my QL profile and realized I received a message from Nov 1. So I read it and it was a missy telling me that she came accross my advert, telling me to contact her privately on her e-mail and that she will send me her picture once I send her the mail. Too bad i'm a girl as well and i thought maybe she barely even read my advert because I clearly stated on my advert that i'm a female student. She probably thought Im a guy so she sent me this message to tempt me into contacting her. I'm not gonna say her name but I should warn everyone that as long as you see "Ruba" on their name, think twice. I don't know what the word means but as I googled this girl's name(which has "ruba" as her family name), I saw a page of scammers including different names of girls but all with the same family name: "Ruba". Also with the search results I saw inappropriate images of misses and I knew for sure I wouldn't wanna be involved in that kind of stuff. I am sharing this NOT to give men the idea but to warn everyone that there are scammers lurking around QL. I don't know exactly what kind of trouble you might find yourself in after following their temptations/instructions but I know for sure this is some type of scam.
