PM Question

I don't want to be rude; especially in that so many of you have helped me out and if I could I'd like to help others out.

I received a PM from a forum member I don't know and don't ever recall seeing their name before. It asked me if something looked like a good deal and there was a LINK to something they'd labelled "Nebraska 25 Cent" or something like that.

I didn't click on the link because........... well you know, I try to practice "safe clicking" image

Did anyone else get the same PM?

Has the guy been helped yet?

Besides, I don't know squat about state quarters.

I'm just wondering out loud I guess.

    If you check the properties of the link is it a tinyurl or have "rover'' in it? If so, it's a spammer. Out them.

    I don't understand, you mean he was spamming his own auctions by asking the question?

    he owned the aaron rookie card that he linked me too?

    Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

    Nah, you're OK

    These clowns get essentially a referal fee everytime someone clicks on their links. The boards both here, and across the street have been infested with these parasites, moreso here, and as soon as we catch on to them, they are banished to the Twilight Zone. We bagged 4 today thanks to the folks here.
