Odd PM

I've just noticed yours was from 'Soren' Aveline
I'll name mine now. 'scrader'
Anyone recognise the name?

Calendargirl

I had one a few days ago, not that name but also began with ‘s’.

He/she admired my ‘thoughtful’ posts, and wanted to know where I was?

I didn’t share that info!

I got the same message Calendargirl. on 16th October.
The name beginning with s. I didn't recognise the name so ignored it.
Liked a thoughtful comment of mine and wanted to know where I came from.

😱 Oh Silverlining48. Have we inadvertently blocked George Clooney or my favourite ex-footballer David Ginola!!!

Weren’t silver foxes suave and sophisticated men of a certain age who were looking for love. ❤️
Should I unblock ?

Actually I have been posting too much, despite wanting to cut back or even leave. I spend/waste far too much time on GN.

Silver fox too, hadn’t seen me posting recently and was concerned. Blocked

Octopus start every reply to me with ‘Thank you for reaching out’. I think it’s used in many settings now.

2 from Silverfox.
Replied to the first but now blocked as I am under a new name and she/he couldn’t have recognised me.
I feel guilty if it is someone genuinely wanting to make contact but I don’t want to take risks.

I blocked it too.

I have replied to Soren .
I don't know if she is genuine .
She might be .
I'm not familiar with her name .

JenniferEccles "reaching out" is an American phrase.

I had one too

Three similar messages from 'Scrader'.

Reported them and blocked them.

‘Silver Fox’ was concerned I hadn’t posted for a while.

Blocked!

I got two messages from someone starting with s.

I received a message from a man some time ago suggesting "maybe we could get to know one another better". I think others had the same as I saw his thread was blocked soon afterwards.

I don’t think I have ever seen any ‘reaching out’ on threads on here so I would immediately suspect it wasn’t a genuine message.
Nobody I know says it either.

It all sounds a bit too Meghan Markle for me!!

I did too, not Soren but another name starting with S - also admiring my thoughtful post. Told me they lived in Glasgow, then asked what the weather was like there! Blocked.

No I haven’t, but thanks for letting us know. As Babs03 said, some odd bods about. I try to be ever vigilant these days with messages and odd phone calls.

I had a number earlier in the year from Rev' Walker - he needed my help to sell gold apparently!

I've had 3 messages, I ignored them. Now blocked.

Was just coming to start a similar thread.

I cant find a record of this person being a legit poster in a search - apologies if I'm wrong.
