I'm not sure but it looks like matt's email was compromised. I got an email this morning trying to sell stuff from Egypt. lolz. Kinda silly.



Anyways I though I should let you know.

I got the same thing earlier today. I PM'd Matt about it and he says he's looking into it. It looks like someone created an account on here and is hitting the email link next to our names to contact us with this spam. They weirdly made one comment on another thread o.O

Wow, that's weird as hell.

STOP Spamming everyone Matt

False alarm.

PM and forum notifications come from matt's email address. I just turned on email notification, sent a message to myself, and I got one too.

Someone warned me about that user, so I guess it's time to give him the boot.

... Well, someone beat me to banning him but they didn't actually ban him. *fixes ban*

[matt]

Yep the email isn't actually coming from my account or our server. Someone is just spoofing my address...

[teck]

Well this was interesting....  At least it is was so obviously NOT matt that I doubt anyone would have been fooled....

That gets me thinking though... it must be hard collecting if you live in the Middle East.

I would think that it is likely not something that they probably even concern themselves with over there as much....  Just finding any way to enjoy gaming must be a bit of a struggle....  I doubt they get the luxury of considering being a collector....

The "Middle East" is comprised of a heck of a lot of countries.

And both Sony and Microsoft have a presence there. Maybe they don't get all the games we do due to cultural differences, but they still get a large chunk.

Really~?  I was under the impression that a lot of Europe and Asia were short changed too....  So I just presumed everything in between was similar....

LOL @ tapes. I forgot people used to call them that.

[pacpix]

Ha my Grandpa still calls them tapes.  Same with CDs, DVDs, etc., everything is a tape ha.
