Just PM'ed for no appropriate reason "M New Plans"

Following PM starts as below. I have no particular knowledge nor interest in middle eastern localities, so I believe I'll not be alone in recieving this. "fishing/spam?"


Hi
My Freinds Tell Me That: What you want to know about Iran
About:
Iran: Mines / Minerals/ Geology Offices/ Type Of Mines

I'm Going to Put All subjects Of Iran In My personality site

I think this guy is serious. He is certainly enthusiastic and seems planning to post minerals from his collection. His website has serious geology on it, but I think he is involved in commercial stone quarrying. His English is not strong but certainly far superior to my Farsi. Maybe he can contribute some Iranian localities?

I just did what I usually do with spam/unknown emails from people I don't know....... B)

.....but Paul..what if it's from a Nigerian Princess that needs your help......:D

I received it also. Iran certainly is interesting. But a PM inviting you to download from unknown sites is not the way to go.

Me too. Did he get everybody??? Does anyone know who this guy is?

Iran has some great minerals and localities, so don't just chuck this fella out!

Spencer.

You guys are making me feel unloved and forgotten, because I didn't get it :(

But seriously, we need more contributors from Iran; they'll learn Mindat's brand of internet culture soon enough I imagine.

Just got another from him.
We need to let him know about the message board rather than PM ing everyone.

. . . And of course a hardy welcome aboard (an a minor mention that his watermark plastered over the specimen in the pictures is rather distracting) : )

Folks, check out the blogs and check Farid Muhammadi's.....evidently he just set up a website.....

people in foreign countries have a hard tiem understanding spam. I have spam from someone in peru. every week or so i get an email of minerals from him. this is the only site i visit and potentially post my email on. clearly it came from here. regardless i've replied back in clear spanish i dont want the emails and that it is spam. however inconsiderate he keeps emailing me. As Paul has stated best to delete.
