Got an email in my inbox asking how long I've lived in Missouri from this email address?

Scam? My email is nowhere on this forum that I can see, so not sure how someone could have contacted me.

From: robot@mg.grassrootsmotorsports.com

Subject: Grassroots Motorsports Forum Message

 

"From: :chandler's email removed:


How long have you lived in Kirksville? I went to high school there at KCH in 96 and 97. I lived in Bloomfield Iowa back then Chandler"

Whoops, accidental double post. Mods, can you please remove the other? (Laughing that I made this of all posts a double post!)

Your email is known to the forum software cause you put it in when registering.  Any time you go to a profile and click "contact" it gives a page where you can write a message and send it.  It is done that way so you get to screen whether you want to respond.

Chandler is a regular here, and a pretty decent guy.  No spam that i can see.

Pretty sure that would be from Chandler here through the forum's messaging system.

You should probably edit out his email address so he doesn't get bombarded with spam, however...

Chandler hit the contact button on your profile and that's how they come through.

That's correct. We need to tweak that so it seems less ... umm ... robotic. It's on our to-do list for 2025.

Got it, thanks all! The "Robot" title definitely threw me.

I'll greet him warmly as a human now :)

I had no idea my old email was tied to this forum. That was another reason I was suspicious. Anyone know how to change that?

The email as PM caught me off guard months back at first, but it was about SSR Type C's so it was an typical car conversation heh.

Thanks Mr Asa. 

So PMs are now emails? Is that what's happening now?

They have been for as long as I've been a member, so 2019-2020-ish?
