I know if it wasn't addressed to me then its not from TM so its been forwarded to the abuse team.
Just thought a reminder heads up might be apreciated

OP. Have you never read the "Sticky" thread the the top ofTrade Me Discussion!

friendly_prawn, Jun 6, 10:56am
Im not sure why your making such a big deal out of it Kaz.
I got one of those. You just follow the link which makes you log back on to trademe and all is confirmed. Easy stuff. Anyone can do it.

yep, anyone at all, and all their cohorts and friends too after you follow the link lol
Does anyone actually get caught out by these attempts, although in saying that, the cook clicked on a bogus kiwibank link a while back, took a few hours to regain control which included a few calls via telephone to kiwibank
so I guess I just answered my own question, doh

Friendly_porn !

friendly_prawn, Jun 6, 12:47pm
shhhhhhhhhh thats supposed to be a secret.

kazbanz, Jun 6, 12:48pm
Even better is the way you get e mails from "happy" traders about the viabrating chair "you" bought for $8k or the pony for $6k

friendly_prawn, Jun 6, 12:56pm
hahahaha, just for that, I'm not going to let you borrow them again.

friendly_prawn, Jun 6, 1:09pm
By the way Kaz, what have you done to our pony!
Last time i got him back off you he was walking all bow legged.

kazbanz, Jun 6, 1:09pm
The pony or the chair!

friendly_prawn, Jun 6, 1:12pm
lol, you havent given back the chair yet.You have had it for nearly two years now.I think you have probably worn it out by now.

tonyrockyhorror, Jun 6, 1:16pm
I haven't. But then I'm not an idiot either.

kazbanz, Jun 6, 3:30pm
Ahh thats a lie and you know it.You refused to part with the chair and were contemplating what chrome plated accassories you could add.

kazbanz, Jun 6, 3:31pm
OK OK I've put on a couple of pounds since I started this job

friendly_prawn, Jun 6, 3:58pm
lol, You're slippery than a politician.

kazbanz, Jun 7, 7:23am
Well you would knowDAHHLINK.Grabbing a guy whilst he's trying to ride his pony to his armchair is just downright subversive in my books.
I mean --Think of the children
