I haven't gotten any T-Mail about that, Tarev. I guess I don't have what he was after.

@tarev
I think I got one of those last week, I asked them to specify and received no response.

It was from joshhankssegoviano13.

Yes, Tarev, I did get that mail. It was the second time.

Jmorth has the name! I wish that person would cease contacting me.

@dave can handle this.

tarev said:Anyone got a tree-mail from someone asking for a trade or sase recently..forgot the name of that member..but I gently told the person, to post on the plant and trading forum. Did not identify his location and was a new ATP member too. So far I have not seen the person post anything anywhere.

I got one. They sent the T'mail the same day that they signed up and not posted in any forums. That makes me wary but a responded anyway and asked what they wanted to trade. I never received a response and they have never posted in any forums. This was back in November.

Yes that's the one. I wanted that person to post on the thread to test how sincere he was since he neither indicated what he has , what he wants or any background about planting anything or his planting zone location at that.

I share if I can but these days...some are so inventive and aggressive in data mining or what not. Better safe than sorry.

Gee, I feel left out. I looked back at my emails for the last 3 months, and found nothing from this fellow.

The t-mail I got was fairly recent, now that I check my t-mail log, got it Jan 7, 2015...
I want to give the person fair chance..maybe life got busy again..who knows..but since he has been sending others similar messages earlier on..then...heads up to all!

Brand new member, no avatar, no microbadges, no profile (location, zone, etc.) asking for free plants or seeds? Absolutely ignore the tree mail and don't reply.

I also got the "josh- - - -" last night, Jan 8, asking for trade on my tree mail. I did not respond.

Oh you guys just made my day! I needed a good laugh after the really bad news I heard this morning and this post just helped me a little. Thank you

I got his t-mail twice in Nov.
Starting to sound 'spamish'.

Hope things get better Vickie.

Thanks, Bev.

I received one this morning, asking for a trade, or sase, but no specifics. I'm glad that I remembered seeing this conversation last week!
Will do as you say, Dave!

I had a couple of those too. Odd tree-mails asking for freebies and 'Uggs' (shoes, boots or something) has been an issue for me as far as spam. I had to delete the comment box on my website to eradicate them. I have always been happier with people calling me personally or emailing me for information anyways.

It's not your free seeds they are after; their goal is to obtain your real name and home address. We post a lot of chit chat about our daily lives and activities, comfortable in our anonymity. Please, do not respond to them.

Good point for us to consider...Thanks Greene!
