My company just sent me an e-mail yesterday saying there was video evidence of a problem and to click the link to see the video. Just before I went to click the link I said to myself you better think twice before you click. Good thing I did cause it was a phish, I reported it and got the congrats from the company for not falling for it.

I thought the same, when I got it in other threads as well and thought ....... my god what did I do to get banned now ????? :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Whew, coast is clear. :cautious:
My company sends fake phishing emails to it's own employees, trying to catch us clicking on something. It's getting really annoying. Our own security team is like our worst spammer at this point wth!

They used to do it to me a lot but I wouldn't play along. Straight to trash instead reporting it. Haven't got one in a while now.

I was hoping I’d won either a new Bronco or some swag…but I’m the eternal optimist.

But I was just trying to help a prince from Qatar transact dollars from his frozen assets, after which he would pay me a handsome sum . . .

There's a lady in our office that falls for it every time. We'll be chatting about a recent phishing attempt and she'll say, "oh, I clicked on it 😐. "

Thanks for the tip Doug. I got one yesterday, and I see you've already taken care of that one. Thanks for looking after us sir.

I was going to use the money I'm getting from my long lost Uncle Omar when it arrives to buy the wheels, and tires. I'm so glad I didn't foolishly waste his money on some stupid scam.

Like many of you, when that warning message from Doug popped up I thought "Man! why in the world did Doug send me to detention (this time)?? :oops:!!!" Ha!:LOL:

This is a good heads up. So many of us are eager and having a time finding almost anything while we nest for the arrival of our little bundle of Bronco.

To All Bronco6G Members,

PLEASE BE AWARE of a common scam taking place on Bronco6G and other forums. This involves a new user (typically one who has joined recently with no posts or little post history), sending unsolicited private messages to other users, telling you to email someone for a part that you're interested in purchasing.

The scammer will then show you fake (but credible) photos of the product and have you send money for it. Of course, the part is never delivered and the Paypal account is closed down to avoid chargebacks.

If you receive ANY unsolicited private messages asking you to contact someone regarding the purchase of parts, REPORT IT IMMEDIATELY (using the Report function at the bottom of the message). This will help us weed out these scammers so they don't harm anyone else on the forum.

Thank you for your help and always use your best judgment when purchasing parts from any individual!
thanks for the heads up, chief
