Spammed Today By mr.jamespollard01

[Alonzo Guerrero]

I purchased my first Scott radio last October 2020 and decided to join this enthusiasts community.  I've read some posts, but haven't posted anything or created any content yet. 

Looks like a great community, so I wanted to let you all know that I was email spammed today by James Pollard using the email address mr.jamespollard01.  Instead of interacting with the email, I chose to login and change my profile password.  I then ran a search in the Members page for Pollard, which did not yield a result.  The name doesn't exist.

The email contained links that looked like they were forum generated, but I think they may be spoofed as well and could be directed elsewhere.  If you get the same email, I would recommend not clicking any of the links!  The contents of that email follow (links not included, but I left the email in for content):

Good Day,

How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you,but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on ( [e-mail]
) for the full details.Have a nice day
Thanks God bless.

The name doesn't exist anymore because I killed the user after the first message was reported. We try hard to keep this crap out of here, but it can be difficult.

I received the same email today.

A search for the name on the internet brought up the same email on other forums.  I also saw a few other names associated with the exact same email language.
