PenteKing’s BodyBlog

Has anyone else experienced this lately? You get a private message (from someone you presume is one of your friends here on Bodybuilding.com), and then open it to find that it’s a sleazy solicitation. This has happened to me three times in the past week alone. I don’t think these solicitations are because of my looks or my charming personality (although that might have something to do with it <wink>). I’m not sure what’s up with this, but it’s a little freaky. I keep asking myself, "What do these people want?" I don’t ever click the embedded links that are usually found in the messages I receive. I have three very good friends who did exactly that, and lived to regret that rash and impulsive act. And with all the news stories and warnings floating around, I can’t believe that there are people who still fall for this old carnard. Yet, there must be because the messages never stop arriving.

But, I digress. My original intent in writing this blog was to poll the community to see if this was an impending epidemic, or is it confined solely to me? If the former, I will take the responsibility of notifying the Webmaster of the practice to see if he can put a stop to it. If it’s only me…well, that’s another story altogether, isn’t it?

Seriously, folks; let me know.
