Gnarly Gnu Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Welcome Michael! Just curious as to how the recreational flying scene is in Malaysia? It's a 4 or 5 years since I've been there now sadly. Hopefully better than in Singapore, much more space to fly in for a start right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deskpilot Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Michael. It's been a long time since I was 'up country' from Singapore. Where are you based/fly from and what do you fly? We'll Google your airfield to do a bit of sight-seeing. Oops, just realized, you're not flying yet. So where will you be flying from............some day.

damkia Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 FWIW they are usually very easy to spot by the way they are written. Generally have a very "friendly/kindest" tagline to them, more than you would expect of a normal post introduction. I spotted one a couple of days ago, and spotted another suspicious one yesterday that I have reported. If you see anything remotely suspicious about a post (even a first post) report it to admin so they can get on top of it. The spammers usually do a few test posts before commencing a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) type of attack on the site by swamping it with posts to the point of server failure. Read the first post again to get an idea of the odd initial friendliness. The thing in our favour is the bots/spammers rarely change things like the tagline. Yes, I have been a mod on other forums.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza 38 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I was a bit suss when he said in his first post "I am just too excited to be among you guys". That was a bit over the top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnarly Gnu Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 .... when I first went to work nearly sixty years ago. Wow, did you train in those steam powered kites under the Wright brothers?

Guernsey Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Wow, did you train in those steam powered kites under the Wright brothers? Of course not....that was the year before. I was one of the 'Wrong Brothers'. Alan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fred Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Howdy all I got one of these spams on our Aviation Online when I was trying to sell my Weightshift Trike.This fella that wanted to buy ,it posed as a Dr from England.He asked me if I could hold it for him, as a deposit was on its way and he would be coming down to organize shipment.He sounded very well spoken and intelligent,this is how they operate.I smelt a rat when the deposit did not go into my account.Then a check arrived for the full amount what i was asking for,now the pong was getting really bad.I did not cash the cheque,it would have got me into trouble,as I have heard about these Nigerian scams before.Just be wary fellas if your selling, sell only in OZ i did get a buyer eventually from NSW and the doc from what ever rock he ever crawled out of, crawled back in and did not even ask for his so called cheque back.
