Suspicious CR4 email

I didn't get one. Maybe they are only recruiting smart people.

Hey don't type so fast. I think you meant smart ass people

Huh? Not a member?

Why don't you see what the guy wants? I read some of his comments, seems a nice enough fellow.

Panneer Selvam, CR4 member #28720, member since 16 July 2009.

Ass Smart ass mee?

I'd say a registered user is using the PM system to send out spam in an attempt to draw people from here to another forum, and not using their CR4 username in the message.

If you want it to stop, just report it to admin., they will know who Panneer Selvam is, or at least who the registered user is that's sending these messages, and be able to put a stop to it.

I didn't get one either. Like lyn said, maybe they're just after smart people. If that's the case, I have no worries.

I think I resent that remark

Sent a copy to Savvy - ^{_{haven't heard back}}.

But at least I got mine from a female .............. maybe?

Dear Sir, You are an active user of this forum. That shows your interest in Electrical Engineering. Thus, I would like to suggest you another good blog and forum on which you can participate. Blog/Forum : Electrical Engineering Blog Thank You!

Perhaps she hasn't heard that old saying, " Be careful what you wish for ".

Let's all go over there and talk politics and religion...........plenty of cussing too.

I got it...Lets send Lyn ...That will solve the problem he's like a virus to an operating system.

I got one today. I never click on anything I am unsure about.

And calling me smart would be like calling a polecat pretty.

I have PMed a couple of people who asked specialist questions to other forums where they are more likely to get a response.

We can't follow your links (because we can't access your private mailbox). It's from a genuine CR4 member (you could have found him/her with a simple search:

http://cr4.globalspec.com/search/sitesearch?do=show&sort=textmatchrank&srch=Panneer%20Selvam&order=asc

- which is what you get when you cut'n'paste the name into the "search all of CR4" box).

Is what he's left in your mailbox 'iffy' or in some way objectionable? If so, report it.

What's suspicious is both emails have different names, same subject content.

Different names? Wouldn't that have been useful information in your OP?

Now it sounds like spam. Rat 'em out and be finished with it. I am.

From your OP I'd assumed that both were from the same sender. Since you gave no indication otherwise and no clue as to the content of either, it's understandable that none of us knew that it was the same message from different sources.

Just hit .

I got a similar one waaaaaay back in time.

Just replied that my dedication and focus is on CR4 as I have found it so rewarding over the years and that the time to participate in another forum would not be possible.

Got back from the person a "Thank you for considering".

This string of emails has been reported and handled as spam by CR4 admin. This should be the end of the emails, but we appreciate the prompt notification.

Damn, I was Hoping Lyn would go over and take care of it

Sorry, but I had to take a nap.

Hey - I think you've done well. You got a response.

I notice that! It makes me happy Not sure what I did but I sure feel better
