Normally, I do not moderate the Ads posted here, and in this case, the poster didn't even leave an email address where they could be contacted. Nevertheless, I REMOVED "the Ad" as, ...well because it's a SCAM!!!

But there's a Problem!
Though I have removed "the Scam Ad" from my blog, it is Still showing up in my RSS Feed. And I am asking "If anyone knows how to remove a post from an RSS Feed, PLEASE let me know."

"The Ad", as it is still posted in the RSS feed, is linked to the Original post on my blog through it's title; "Greeting From Christel Jean (Reply Me Back),,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,", and if someone clicks on it, it does NOT go anywhere as "the Ad" has been removed from my blog. However, if you are reading "this post" via an RSS Reader, then you should see "the Scam Ad" that I am talking about, just below.

So can someone PLEASE help me out? As otherwise the only thing I know to do is to make "this" post, warning everybody of the Scam Ad's existence in my RSS feed.

Again, and to clarify. There is NO IMMEDIATE DANGER as there was no contact information posted in the Ivory Coast Scam Ad/Letter.

But if Anyone has a suggestion or knows how to remove the D*mn thing from my RSS feed, Please post a comment, or email; "Buck Dollar -AT- gmailDOTCOM", and I will be exceedingly grateful.

Thank You,
Buck Dollar
