I didn't get a similar email. Maybe we need to contact IB Jose to let the owner know the site may have been hacked. Definitely scary!

Just got an email, courtesy of classicoldsmobile.com, with an invitation to a pyramid scheme. I love the interwebz!

private message

I received two of these messages in my inbox this morning, 7/21/2022. It looks fishy to me? "Banned," coincidence or for real I wonder?

Hacker Alert !!!

I received a Private Message from “Mirad” requesting that I click on the link provided to join him for a “special project.” I did not click the link as I’m sure this is a hacker. FYI

No offense but why move these posts to some obscure place on OUR website so quickly ? There are those of us that might not be tech savvy enough to realize that this was a scammer. May I recommend leaving this posted in the General Discussion arena for say, 5 days, until most everyone can get a heads up ?

Anybody who thinks that message is legit isn't smart enough to be a member of CO.

If you're like most of us you hit the New Posts tab on the top of the page and it will show up with the rest of the recent posts no matter what forum it's in.
