T- missed the point, this was an unsolicited e mail sent to my yahoo inbox- I have no motorcycle for sale. I believe it is a case of what they call "phising" that looks for info that is of the personal nature. They want your bank numbers and anything they can get to get your money. They are wasting their time with me!

Oh! I'd just ignore them for now and hope they go away. Don't give anyone info unless you called them is my suggestion! Gees! T

No, I know NOTHING!! I don't tell anyone anything- wife included- or especially! I just did'nt know if this was new or if anyone else was getting these. My computer has a delete and I use it. I need to start a new post.

CH; In the edit profile section, you can allow or disallow private messages. I've gotten a few unsolicited PMs, also. Depending on the subject, I will reply and ask that they put their mssg. in the open forum, or just delete it. Loren SW Washington
