just to say thank you Aspergerix, I always find your information informative and helpful.
I too get what I mean and what I say mixed up, my head sometimes goes way faster than my fingers can type, or my mouth can pronounce properly, leading to, in some part, miscommunication.
This place is such an interesting place, and a wealth of knowledge. Sometimes I am playing catch up(strange term I know)to the point I cannot think. But I am learning so much from being here, about myself, and how others here deal with they're ASD's.
This subject means a lot to me, as I was one of those people who used to get caught out with underhand and often unscrupulous dealings. I have had to learn to be less gullible but still on occasion get sucked in(another odd expression I know). It's good that people like yourselves are willing to help others see things more clearly, even though you may have your own anxieties and life problems going on.
Your both right methinks, Aspergerix with his analogy of letting people know about the risks this said post could pose, and MattBucks, calling for calm heads.
This is partly my fault, maybe I overreacted somewhat, but unfortunately I have problems with emotions, and saw this as a threat. This site was a safe enviroment, and suddenly it felt unsafe.
This may be bait to lure vulnerable curious gullible people on the spectrum into a phishing trap to steal personal information, steal identity, get bank details, deposit malware and viruses onto their devices, basically con people where they may end up losing a lot of money and suffering other victimization from criminal activity.
This is either a fraudulent advert or if it is genuine then the product sold is fraudulent and criminal which can lead to serious consequences.
Either way I view this as a potential serious threat and warn all users not to be tempted to email the given email address of the spammers out of curiosity.
This is like taking a sweet from a bad man offering candy to a kiddy on the street and saying get into his car. Don't !
Don't send email, don't click on any link !
These people are sophisticated social engineers, master fraudsters, and what they are proposing is against the law.
This may be common sense to some but to others the dangers may not be obvious.
This was my worry Aspergerix, that someone might get Caught out by this.
