Better send him your private email addy,cell # and credit card information before you miss out on whatever it is. :laughing:

That is just someone from TBN contacting you.

If you click on a username on the left, you have the option to send PM or send Email. If you choose Send Email, that's how it looks.

The format of the message does come a bit weird though.

I didn't know that someone could PM with zero Posts.

Agree, I'd have reported but with no posts the report link is not there.
Hope TBN has not been hacked.

Looks legit:

Legit?
He says he has what I want.

BUT;
Nowhere have I posted that I want something!
So is he a mind reader?

Also he's a new member with no postings and that's why I am really suspicious.
If he really believed he had something I wanted, why not refer to that item.

I just remembered, several years ago I received a PM from a new member that wanted to buy the Brinly forks I had shown in some pictures posted in the TORO+Loader thread.

Can't post links with zero posts, but PMs are okay.

Something I've seen several times now. Y'all can watch for it and it's pretty obvious.

New ID pops up, starts posting irrelevant comments that don't really have anything to do with the thread. Sometimes something simple like 'Good information, thanks for the tip'. Sometimes it's on current threads, but usually it's on older threads like the paper shredder thread this morning. They do it to build up their post count and almost certainly by the fourth or fifth post you'll find at least one link. In this case it was a link to a site selling paper shredders. Usually the sites are based outside the US and may not even be legitimate.

It's not worth worrying about as long as it's only 1 pm. He probably meant it for someone else, and your name autosuggested and he picked it.
