and a guy sends me a PM asking about the item I'm selling. I never heard of his user name before, and so I go to check it and he's not listed in the directory.
So I have a couple questions.

  1. How can someone that isn't listed send a PM?
  2. I always get my PM's through my email. Is there any way to get them on the GRM site? I can't find it anywhere.
  3. Should I be suspicious?

I had a similar incident happen, not an ad, but I sent a pm and the recipient texted my phone? I thought that odd, if I am remembering right?

I logged out to see if it's possible, and was able to see the contact button in the drop down menu of your profile thingme. I had a hell of a time logging back in, too, so you're welcome. PM's only come via email. Ask for correct contact info, and even a phone number if you're suspicious.

This brings to light a new concern for me. I always assumed that only GRM people would respond to an ad on this board. That brought a certain confort level with it. I guess I'll have to be more careful in the future.

This is an open forum. That's why we get Canoes. Anybody can get on here.

I would never join a club that would have me as a member!

Well, yes, I know that. What I didn't know is that someone who is not registered here can send a PM through here.

Most of the other forums I'm on have an option to receive mail from members you can enable or disable. I was unable to find one in the profile info here.

Me too. I guess that was what was a surprise to me. If someone knows that this can be done and how, please speak up.
