Received this by PM

[Steve]

I've received this following message by PM today, and was wondering if this site user is genuine? Sorry for the inference if you are, but I've never seen this user make any forum posts, and the style of the message just doesn't ring true somehow. Surely someone in Hong Kong wouldn't have too much bother getting a single piece of paper translated from Japanese into English?

I've disguised his email address for obvious reasons.

What do you think? Am I being paranoid? I've got no problem at all with helping out anyone who is genuine, but....... this just seems a bit fake to me.

Dear Manager,

I owned YS50-ST as well for my Knight 50-SD. However, the YS 50 Operator's Manual is in Japanese version whereby I am unable to achieve the top performance from its throttle setting associates with my Governor. I should be much obliged if you would email copies of your English version to me. Thank you very much.

I would go along with it. And send using a hotmail account or something.

[Ade_Law]

stick it up on some webspace and PM him back

Ade

[Biggles]

a quick google of his user name and found this amongst other stuff

Don't know if it sheds any light on the subject for you.

but he has his email on some of his posts so maybe you can compare?

[warboysastro]

Given the subject matter and question, it has to be genuine.

If on the other hand the subject matter was 'how you are' and did you want to buy any viagra, cialis or an honourary degree...

Cheers - Rob

Loos pretty genuine to me Steve. To be honest I'd do as Ade suggested, put it up on some web space and use a hotmail account.

[rspblake]

Steve easy way is to send it to Stuart and get him to put it in the manuals section and just pass on the link.

Give anyone that wants a copy a place to get it from......

[ChrisB]

Hardly asking for bank account details is it

[Steve]

I'll scan and pdf the instruction sheet and upload to the manuals section on here, then PM him back a link. That way, I don't have to give him my email address.

Cheers

Fancy me mentioning the honourary degree this morning, then today, you... get a degree! (albeit not an honourary one).

Do I win a prize?
