This morning 171222 I at 0141 GMT I received an email notification apparently from the forum advising that a new post had been made on a thread to which I have subscribed. This is perfectly normal so I opened it. However the post appeared to have a political or support seeking content concerning the current war in Ukraine. This was totally unrelated to the topic (German cemetery in Kharkiv).
The post itself is not apparent in the thread in fact the last post there was my own.
I did not recognise the username; 1SoldierMatt so I looked in the members list and cannot see that user name at all.
The name used as a signature was Matt Zureiqi which surname sounds Middle Eastern to me.
The poster claims to be from Manchester UK which is a bit vague as the name Manchester covers not just the City of Manchester but a large metropolitan area. I am from Greater Manchester and the vernacular used is somewhat odd. The poster gives an apparently male name but seems to write as a female and seems to be trying to garner sympathy for civilians in Ukraine (is this a precursor to asking for donations?) and my natural suspicions were aroused by this rather odd message in the circumstances.
So I wonder if any other members have seen the same message or have any knowledge of 1SoldierMatt? Also whether Mods are already aware and have taken action?
I haven't deleted the email at this point in case Mods wish to see it but I have every intention of ignoring it completely.
Any thoughts?
Regards
Mark
