OK, somewhat strange... Paul Altieri

I'm getting emails to my regular, most used email address from someone named "Paul Altieri".

His email is [email protected] the XXXX is something else.

Within a month now I've gotten two.

The guy is sending me WTB (want to buy) messages for different rolex bracelet parts.

Sure I've posted WTB ads at some point, and bought some parts happily from other TRF members, but why would someone answer a WTB ad with a WTB?!

I emailed him back after the first email, and politely said I think he might have confused an old "WTB" thread of mine with a "FS" thread.... No answer.

Just tonight I got a new email from him with a header of "WTB Rolex Bracelet 7835 w/ 271 End Links", well I'm for sure ain't selling any!

What is this guy up to?

Hi-jacked account phising?

Any other members receiving emails from him? Unless I've been doing recent (last 4 years) FS ads that I can't remember, or in my sleep!!!

Just to be clear, as I don't know what this guy is up to... bayerische, or my email is NOT SELLING ANYTHING remotely related to watches ANYWHERE online.

Same, unsolicited email. Most likely Bob's email list was hacked and since our info is of the utmost demographic we get these emails

Glad I'm not the only one! If that's a good thing. Perhaps this "Paul" should come out with this info!
