Question

Strange PM...

Anyone else here received a PM from a member who has no posts requesting you to contact them via their gmail account?

Just asking :wink:

    It seems like some person may want us to believe it's this person:


    That would have been awesome if true, I'd definitely chat with Shaye about being an Apache pilot. I once read the flight manual for an Apache, it's fascinating.

    Well if you insist I am sure that someone can make a similar new account and spam your box just  to make you feel special.  :p

    I'm guessing this person is after your login details.... and an email takes him/her half way there. If anyone has emailed and your password isn't particularly challanging, I'd advise on changing it. It's also probably a good time to remind people to use different passwords for different sites.

    Yep. You email them, they now know your email for this site (unless you email them with a different email). They can check any of the numerous leaks to see if your email is listed, and if there's passwords associated with it they can try them to log on here.
    .


    I use Keepass to generate passwords. Then when at work I use an http://inputstick.com (usb bluetooth keyboard emulator with keepass plugin) to send them from my phone to which ever device I want to log in to.

    Ha!!!!!!!!

    More confirmation that it was @vannagirl testing my loyalty!!! She was posing as a hot 18 year old girl and knows that she wouldn't get a response from you.

    Not sure why she's emailing everyone else though...

    ...is there something you guys aren't telling me? :(

    Life's lesson, if you look weak, don't work out next to Mr Muscles.... or wear a tracksuit that makes you look a bit like Spiderman.
