Hijack of a personal e-mail message?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I contacted ErikSJI up in the Northwest Coast about buying some Butiagrus seedlings and wanted his address to send a money order to. I was contacted back by this individual (Mark Lynn) who is located in Florida asking me to send the money to him for the seedlings. He might be the distributor for Erik in Florida but I am suspicious because Erik had already contacted me and given me a price and shipping across the country. I also tried to find a Palmtalk member under this name (Mark Lynn) and came up with nothing...........This is not passing the smell test.

Have our personal messages here on Palmtalk been hacked?

It would be very difficult to hijack PMs. I don't even have access to them.

Thanks to those of you who help make this a fun and friendly forum.

Ok, well I guess I should assume that Erik contacted Mark and he will send me from a Florida address. I just wanted to be sure since Mark was not the person I was originally discussing the deal with.....it just threw me off guard. You can't be too careful when it comes to sending money through the mail. Thanks
