Suspicious PM

[Johnny Reefer]

I just received what looks to me to be a suspicious request from a member who has made all of 7 posts. They had requested that I email them (to an email link provided) explaining how to post an ad.
Why an email? Why not just a reply? ...or....
Why not post your question here in this forum?
Sorry. I'm not falling for it.

Cheers,

all he was trying to do was get some info.
He is new here.
I gave him a call.
He wasn't trying to do anything wrong.

Well it just seemed pretty strange. This person has made seven posts previously....all of them in the Buy/Sell Forums. Not just posts, but they had started threads. So why ask, and me of all people, ....out of the blue... how to post an ad? Doesn't make sense.
Having said that...I think you can understand my suspicion.

Cheers,

i dunno
he was just trying to figure it out again
But yea, I can understand your suspicions.

. I know your just joking, but in any event.....I wasn't trying to rat on the guy. If that were the case I would have said who it was. My post was more along the lines of alerting others that if they got the same thing...well, in my mind it just didn't look right. I dunno.
Anyway, no harm done.

I'm all out of bans right now, but I got a few finger shakes and scowls left in the reserve bin. Should I dig them out?

This may sound a little obtuse, but why not make a member intro forum, and require new members to post in it first, even just a short few words... would help us get to know all the new people, too
