Am I the only one who got this email?
Am I the only one who received this email? The reason I ask is that it pretty obviously wasn't written especially for me (it's very general, and I have no interest in Japanese swords), and it smells like a sales scam. I just want to make sure that nobody has figured out a way to abuse the KN email system. I also found no member named Pawel Nowak (although the username could be different). Here's the email:

Not just you...
Me too. It smelt like a rat to me. $400 for a blade of this caliber? Right. And the omnipresent 'Yahoo' email address.

Sounds like someone's figured out how to abuse the KN email system. Either that, or they've culled our email addresses somehow. Perhaps we should notify Alex?

I got it too. Obvious scam and what's more, it came to me on an e-mail address I only used on the old CKD, so he somehow managed to hack into it and steal our addresses, then pretend it came from the Knife Network.
Filthy scum. |

Yes I got one to, thought it was another scam so I just hit the ignore/delete button. Gib

I got it too. A quick click on the "delete" took care of it.
It is interesting that it appeared to come through the Knife Network. |

I didn't thankfully, maybe they were just hitting the moderators, and silver members?

He went to the profile pages and clicked on the member contact link. The final recipient e-mail addresses we use there are the ones we had on file for you from the previous site.
