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:

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/profile.php?do=buddylist

All the best,
Pelican Parts Technical BBS

---------------------------------

I'm going to deny it...

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

It is because you sold your R1100s.

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.
