Hi, officer one,

Maybe I am getting too wary but newbies who post like yours seem like an introduction before spam...Key words put together spell --Loan officer? Hey that is ok so long as the topic stays on Pda usage or similar topics.

Maybe I am too paranoid about nice newbies....?

Hi Kiran,

Welcome to 1src! I have yet to ask a question here about PDAs that hasn't been answered in some fashion.

Good Luck!

When I first saw this post, I thought nothing of it ... a new user. However, after your post I looked at the original post again. The post itself looks perfectly innocent. However, note the signature (I usually just ignore signatures). The signature has a link (though incorrectly constructed) to loanscut.com. I would say that this message is a type of spam where what the poster is trying to do it bump their Google (and other search site) linked-to statistics, thus increasing the likely hood that when one searching for a product or service on there site it is more likely to appear higher in the results.

Hmm, "links builtloanscut (nowhere)". Looks like a automated script generated the signature, and it has some bugs.

I didn't even realize until you pointed it out just now. :eek:

Paranoia is infectious, but it is better to be cautious than to be too kindly. Yes I clicked that strange words at the end and got an unrelated link to anything posted...

For example look at this other spamlike post:

Two posters that registered on similar days and entered into a conversation about a program....very suspicious...
