Just a heads up, and hope I am wrong

[GrayBeard Phil Member Find all posts View Profile Close GrayBeard Phil]

I received a PM from a new member asking for advise on the use of a new Sears Scroll Saw.

Something about the PM triggered a "Is This For Real? Could this be a Troll on a Phishing trip?" reaction.

The person requested a response to an AOL account.

I hope I am wrong, but I wanted to pass a warning on to all members. If you also get such a message, don't reply to the AOL address.

I have alerted BobD and Admin on this issue. Let's let them decide if I am wrong, and let's hope I am. Then I can apologize to Nancy.

I got a similar PM asking if I'm a carver and if I have a website and to respond to an Excite email account. It's a brand new member with no posts showing.

Just seemed "phishy" to me.
