Warning Mysterious PM

Gentlemen ,

If you get this PM please be careful !
Sounds suspicious !!
Please don't open the link .
Safety first; right?

Sorry for PMing out of the blue. Here's the thing.

I wrote a book with a friend of mine. My husband keeps saying it sucks. I think he's just jealous tho.

He spends a lot of time on these boards, so I told him I'm going to pick a random person here, and ask them, and we ended up betting on it.

So go to and make the call. Does it suck?

Thanks

Oh man!... I've opened it, went to the site and read chapter 1.

Seems ok, though... hmmm...

Jeeez....I opened it too...... I speedread the ist chapter.....and I have to agree with her husband....it sucks

Silly me, i opened it too. I didn't have any time to read it though and probably won't. Still i would agree with Rick that in the future if you receive such PMs it is probably safer to leave them unopened if you don't know the sender.

Does the mystery husband wish to identify himself?

David,
I received also this private message and reacted like you did but I deleted it, without opening it. Much safer.
I do not think that this way of communicating is a proper way and I do consider that private message as a spam ! I wish it would not have passed EEW filters.
Kind regards
Michel

I received it as well and opened it without thought. Last time that happens! If no one comes forward to claim being the husband, I'd suggest that this be treated as spam.
