Anyone know this GB guy?

tapwater
...I'm well aware of the spammers that frequent us, but this is a bit odd. Don't know where he got the "Fortier" connection. Got this email:

Hello tapwater

You received the following message from: LONGBOW (scott.blair@cjtf76.centcom.mil)

At: http://forums.gunbroker.com/

I noticed the signature on one of your posts on gunborker.com forum was "David K. Fortier". Are you "THE" David Fortier that rights for the gun mags? If so, I have a question about the weapon in one of your articles.

If not, sorry for the inconvenience.

    If you return his email, if allows them to see your personal information.

    I think.

    You don't have a quote from that guy do you?
    He wrote this stupid email to get you to reply with "WHAT?"

    Don't think it's spam -- address looks like it's from an active duty soldier.

    ...I've never mentioned David Fortier in any of my posts, much less in a sig line. He can ask on the forum if he wants, but I'm not returning his email.....not yet, anyway.

    Maybe he accidentally sent it to you. That's a real military e-mail address - CJTF76 is "Combined Joint Task Force 76" headquartered in Kabul, Afghanistan.

    ...Aw, jeez, what to do? Has anyone ever seen Fortier mentioned on the board? In a sig line? I tried a search, but I can only search the post's subject, not the content, Why is that? Mods?

    Tobe, have at it. I'm sure as hell not Fortier. He gets to play with lots of cool stuff on the publisher's tab. Not a bad gig.

    Did some playing with this
    David M. Fortier Not K. Although it looks like Emily K. Fortier takes all the photos for his articles...
    Tried to find his E-mail to pass along I would think it is in his articles most of these guys usually provide some sort of contact info!!!

    Oh come on tapwater!
    Everybody here knows your real name is Dale Fortier. [;)]
    Didn't realize you were famous though!

    Sounds like an honest question. LONGBOW handle sounds familiar.

    Yeah - it does not give the personal info from GB auction if that's what's in question here.

    But it does show him an active Email-adress.
