Private message

[katluvr]

Hi, don't know if this is best place to ask this....I rec'd a private message. How do I find out more info on who this is from. It was not, from what I can tell, a dissussion thread. And gave little if no info. I am sure it is save here at TE, but just being "weird" about this. I did the member list and could not find this person. I do know someone by this name...but it would be really strange if it was from them!
Thanks!

I also received an odd message on Monday early early in the morning. I don't know the person who sent it to me and it has no cycling related information in it.

Did it start with RE: ?

I received one too.

To be deliberately vague, was it regarding someone I posted about and claims to be his sister?

If so, it's real. If not, I don't know.

I got one too...from jessie2 it just said Hi, I'm new too. How are you?

I thought it was a bit strange that there was no further conversation....so I checked the member list too...to see where else 'jessie2' has posted to see if it's truely legit....and there was 'no such member'!

there was a link in the 'signature section' that went to a website so I just assumed it was some sort of spam to get me to click into their website.

Something like that is getting to be a common form of spam now. I admin a travel forum and that's one thing we're really struggling with there. Normal spam is easy to delete but PM spam is much harder to deal with.

Yep, same here! It was kinda spooky if you ask me.
