• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Digital subscription emails

Did anyone else recently receive a bunch of machinist related digital subscriptions. I got 3 in my inbox this morning, saying thank you for subscribing.
They are from “Village Press Publications”.

Just curious, as this is the only machinist group I am actively on.

This could have come from anyone in your contacts list, sounds like someone did you a favor (note of sarcasm) and signed you up. Don't open any of the links.
 
I agree with other advice given here. Change your email password using another computer, don't click on any links, and send future messages to junk. If it's too late and you already clicked on a link, disconnect from the internet and restore from a backup asap.
 
Don’t worry guys. I never click on anything I don’t know.
I get this kind of junk spam all the time, it was just curious because I got three machinist ones at the same time.
The machinist clue, for the spammers, could have come from a number of places. Such as my amazon account or Facebook. This email is primarily for my business, so I can’t readily just change it. I’ll just keep sending suspicious mail to the junk pile.
