emails from HAMB "members"

I want to post this just to be on the safe side,MAY BE PARANOID=
Have recieved two emails in last 24 hrs frome supposed members thru the "email a member" link here.
I only suspect these because of the senders being addressed out of country[COMMON SCAMMER LOCATION] for one thing and secondly as the items they say they have are so rare here that I think the possibility that they actually have these parts is not very likely....
they bothe wanted ya to click on a link to reply but honestly I am not sure they were legit or scammers -so.... pay attention and decide on your own....
the emails listed them as ------@thehamb,but could not find their"user" listed....

 

Don't click on any links embedded in an email that you don't know where they lead to. When I get questionable mail - from say PayPal - I hit the reply button and carefully review the return email address. Span is almost always from some crazy return address like.

 

I only click on the links that promise me outstanding sex with underage Nigerian girls that are dying to meet my 57 year old ass. Gotta be careful these days.

I wouldn't touch it , you don't know where's it been!

 

I was a moderator for a short while on a small Falcon interest site . Even at a low volume site like that most of the membership requests were bogus and an occasional Nogoodnik slipped through even with a spam site checker and a bunch of questions . A big active site like this would attract lots of negative attention . I'm sure the moderators here fight that stuff constantly . I saw something odd today but before I could finish reporting it - it disappeared ! - thank you moderator .

 

The mods here do a fantastic job , I would report any suspicious messages..

 

I've received two of these too. I've searched and the guy isn't a member. He was trying to sell me a 36 Ford seat, wrapped in leather, in perfect condition for $250. Hmm, I guess he thinks I'm stupid.
