WARNING! Might want to avoid this one...possible SPAM
 
"porscheheritage" a pelican blog member with only 10 post in the Porsche Technical Forums, and somewhat dubious looking at that, has sent me the following:
---------------------
Dear R111S,

porscheheritage has requested that you become friends. You can approve or deny this request by visiting:

All the best,
Pelican Parts Technical BBS

I'm going to deny it...

Just received the same thing - thought it might be something good, related to Pelican - may have made a mistake. Will post what happens:mad:

I accepted but later declined. Is there any chance they can pull info from my profile like my email address?

careful, careful, careful.
think for a second: a guy you don't know, never heard of, have no contact with "has requested that you become friends".

one of things i've always had issues with is VBulletin software. it's a prime target for "code kittens" (baby hackers). on a client's insistence, we used it once, it lasted about 3 weeks and then tore it back down.
i honestly don't know who/why this guy wants to be your friend, and am even more suspicious that you have to follow the link and "decline" to be his friend.
why?

Uh oh, I opened this post, and now I have a guy on my doorstep...

hang on a sec...

Ok, he asked me to buy magazines and this magical cleaning solution that cleaned the mildew stains off of my porch steps.

I bought about a dozen of each with my credit card.

The joke's on him, though, because I just gave a different guy my bank account number and he's going to be depositing a sum of $12 million US into my account before the end of the day today, so I should be able to pay for all of it.

All because I opened this thread, which warned me that it was spam before I even opened it.

Me too! Oh and I so wanted to be friends.....as in let's just be friends, can't we? But he won't answer my calls or sit the house while I'm away this summer, so I declined. Loser. :D

Highlander179 06-19-2008 08:15 AM

I thought it was another fag hitting on me, so of course I accepted.... I mean declined, yea thats it, I declined it. ;)

Kiriath 06-20-2008 05:57 PM
