Private message - something strange
Posted: Sun Mar 18, 2007 10:50 pm
When I logged on this evening a message was displayed on the menu bar to the left of this page reading "You have 1 private message".
I have set up the option that sends me an e-mail when I receive a private message but I received no e-mail to inform me that a pm had arrived and there is no new message displayed in my mail box.
When I clicked on the "you have 1 private message" a page appeared (not in the usual website format) informing me that I had a message from a member named 'ell' (which is not a user name I recognise) from Nottingham, asking me if I am the Louise who was selling some red seats a few weeks ago. 'Ell' states that he/she has a '68 2 door (the same as me) and is "always looking for interior items".
This seems very strange as there have been no red seats for sale on the site for some months, and certainly not from anyone called Louise. There is no user profile displayed showing when 'ell' registered on the site and there is a link to a website and e-mail address but no way of responding via pm. I haven't clicked on either as this seems really fishy.
Has anyone else here received a message like this ie not via the normal pm system? Does anyone know if there is a registered user named 'ell'?I might be worrying unnecessarily but something seems strange about this message. Perhaps one of the moderators can look into this.
