Anyone else get this Private email from Trains.com

heloo my name is (female name) i see you profile and become intersted here is my mail XXXXXXXXXX@yahoo.com

Then you will be asked to pay to go to her site or whatever. I have seen this spam elsewhere before.

Nope. She must have the hots for you. She’s probably 5-2 and 450.

Just the usual SPAM and scam.

Lucky for me, I got one from the legal representative of an ousted Nigerian General. I can’t say too much just yet, but suffice it to say I’ll be buying lots of BLIs in a few weeks. Yup, yup, yup.

No, I have not. I am the IT guy at as mall manufacturing company. Trains, like us and many other legitimate companies get thier names spoofed, bad mailings attached and sent to people like you and I. I think the penalty for doing this should be very harsh. It causes nothing but problems forthe companies whos names get used in this fashion.

Scam, spam and phishing[:(!]

Good catch there Chip.

She has a profile here. Name only. No Posts. I can’t imagine she singled me out, so I expect others will be getting a similar email.

Got one myself. She was cute.

Maybe she thinks your little red engine is to die for and is cuter than words.

All though, I think On30 might be on the rigth track. Careful.

Chip,

It must be because you have achieved membership to the elite “4K” club here on the forum. Never got one. Hope I never do.

Well if it was legit, posting all about it here just shot you out of the sky, son…
[B)][:slight_smile:][X-)][D)]

It wasn’t ME!!! Sorry Chip I’m a Red Caboose kind a guy[;)]

Yup got it this morning…Spam and scam… Simply delete it and advise Bergie.

DARN!!! I NEVER get women to hit on me!![:(!][|(][%-)]

[:o)]

You just don’t walk down the right streets.

Nothing here. Interesting to see that two of the three that got one are from the same state ¶ - wonder if the spammer’s targeting by state?

Both Western PA and Ohio is right next door. Hmmmm

Looks like the hazard of listing an E-Mail address on the forum has come home to roost. We all have to decide how much privacy we would like to maintain. How else can Parker Legend, Big Al going to be able to comunicate with you?

I got it too Chip. It looks like Bergie has deleted the account, because it wasn’t there when I checked.

Three words to consider:

delete, Delete, DELETE!!!

Me neither! LOL I guess you and I should have our e-mail link put back on to the page so we could get cool e-mails like chip did…[;)][;)][}:)][:D]

I keep thinking of the old Monty Python song: Spam, spam ,spam, spam…
