cooperlola Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I have just been contacted (via e-mail) by Vincent Koma. When I tried to respond the e-mail address given did not work!I don't want to publish my personal e-mail on this site, for obvious reasons, so if you want to contact me, please do so using the pm facility.Thanks.

Benjamin Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 This afternoon I've received what appears to be a PM titled (France Forum Discussion) Email from XXXXXXI won't publish the supposed user's name in case it's genuine but for anyone else who's received a similar email think of wine and we're probably talking of the same person. I've certainly never seen this user name on the forum.I never reply to anyone I don't know by email as a matter of course but what bothers me is that this appears to be a genuine PM.Anyone else received one?

Juswundrin Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 HiIf you google "Vincent Koma", you'll find that this may be a scam.HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 I kind of assumed that it was, given the nature of the e-mail - and the name! - which is why I did not persue it further off the forum. Thanks for the heads up. I'll let you know if I hear more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 I think so, see my VK thread!EDIT: It's a pretty cr*ppy scam when the return address doesn't even work, though![:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Did yours appear to be a PM and if so can one of the Moderators check this user? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 No, it came via e-mail, but via LF. Probably easier for the mods to trace a pm though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Can you forward the complete emails to me via the forum please? We'll definitely look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooperlola Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 Oops, sorry, Clair, I erased him! I probably can dig his e-mail address (which did not work, btw) out of my blocked senders' list, if that helps.EDIT : Blimey, that was quick. Woman power, that's what it takes!
