so this random guy named "Pinar" sent me a PM. it looks like a scam & reminds me of those emails where some random person asks you for $. just wanted to give you all a warning & ask KAT and/or SEA to look into this. here's what he sent me:

1st message:
Hello I'm Pınar I am disturbing you I know but I want to ask something for this can you add me? my msn adress is= <!-- e --><a href="mailto:nietzscheinchains@hotmail.com">nietzscheinchains@hotmail.com</a><!-- e --> and we can talk. thank you...

i responded by saying i don't know you & you can ask me anything here.

his next message:

I'm sorrry of course this was strange but send e mail is difficult we lose time but in msn quickly we're writing and sending. do you understood?

i then asked him not to contact me again. just a heads up for you all.
thanks--
Matt

    if he asks you to send money to help an african prince who will pay you back 1000% of your investment, its probably a scam :)

    I recommend giving him your bank account number immediately. It looks like he could use it. :D

    Maybe it was Eddie himself playing a joke on you and you were just rude to him. :lol:
