    True North Forum - SCAM?

    Hey guys,

    Sorry about the thread - Gmail flagged the email as potential "phishing" or a scam. I spoke with Dan who has also commented below. I've removed my comments of worry as they were unfounded. I hurt some feelings and stirred the pot a bit so I'm trying to cool things and calm the dram.

    In summary it was not a scam - just myself and Gmail being over-cautious of clicking links.

    Cheers,
    Tony

    I got that too.

    It's from the other hunting forum in BC I think. Not sure. I made an account there when they first made it, so nobody could take my username but I never really go to it.

    I got the same thing but haven't been on that site for years and only went to have a quick look around when HBC was down for a few days some time back.

But do you guys know anything? Looks to me like it might be a scam to get people to enter their user names and passwords to this site on there to then hack in? potential anti - hacking? I dunno....

    Did anyone else get this e-mail or know anything about it?

    Tony - you are so far out to lunch that it is laughable if it were not so far from the truth.
    I own that site. I sent the email. My email address is NOT "generic" The site is NOT a "bad knock off" in any way shape or form.

    You actually joined that site in Feb of 2016 and have contributed absolutely zero. It's too bad that you got my bulk email to members. If I had known that you had not visited since you joined I would not have taken the trouble to include you.

    Dan - yes that's my name, and has been for over 72 years.
