Suspect Private Message

[RoyJackson]

I received a PM from "hardwarewizard" looking for info for a Deere 770.
Apparently, he is not a member and selected not to receive PM replies (wanted the reply sent to an e-mail link instead).
This struck me as odd and he may have hacked into the TBN membership databases.
I suspect he's trying to glean e-mail addresses for spam or other purposes.

Thanks for the warning.

Thanks for the heads up on this.

Hey Roy... I looked into it and the PM was only sent to you. So, either he read a post of yours on the site and wanted to contact you or was trying to post and some how got to sending you a PM.

Either way, no hackers. :thumbsup:

Yeah, he must have...wasn't a member when I did a search for the username.
I responded to his PM. He's looking for info on Deere 770's.

Saw that tractor listed in his profile... must have been a time lag with the computer between when he joined and you looked for him. :thumbsup:

Nah...he's looking for an electrical schematic for a 770.
Odd or poorly written posts/PMs always make me suspicious...

That depends on what you have for collateral...

Come on, come on, Roy....isn't Redbugs 1,290 posts and veteran status here on TBN collateral enough...? How could ANYBODY with that much background be trying to scam you? :laughing:
