Vicky-T has been here a lot longer. And Vicky-T is NOT the one sending you this.

Warriorluver98, I can assure you that Vicky-T is not Vickyjoy200 or Vickyjoy. Also, I am sure wetpaint will ban the user as soon has possible. This user has tried to scam many users before on Wetpaint Central, however, you are safe from them here, because they have been banned here.

Sweetheart Scams - They have been around for a long time. They will continue to happen. The name the scammer chooses can be many and can mimic innocent users. Banning them is like spitting the ocean to see if you can create a wave. It is best to ignore, delete and report the Scam message. For a closer look at the credentials of only one scammer (there are thousands like this one ), go to http://splats.wetpaint.com/page/Spam+and+Scam Reading through that page will give you an idea as to why the scammers appear again and again.
