the more I think about it.
My late Hubby was a member of a hobby forum, much like this one, and sponsored by a similar place, including a magazine. I kept getting calls all day long (maybe 20) from a number in an area where I know no one, so I didn't answer them. The person finally left a message, and said he was retired pro in this hobby, and was replying to a question in this mag from my hubby which had apparently been posted on the forum He said he had better information than what had been given to him.
OK, so now that I knew what it was about, I answered the next time he called. He did sound older and did sound genuine, but I know he had to search to get our phone number (yeah, it's in the phone book, and Hubby did have the town in his profile...no comment about that one).
I gave the copy of the mag to my son, so I called him to look for it, and he found it. He is much more computer oriented than I am, and I will talk to him again tomorrow. But the more I think, the more I get creeped out because this guy called several times an hour, and what he had to suggest was not really a big deal. So why?
I think maybe I ought to delete Hub's profile from that forum? I will eventually shut down that computer...
