Hey Jules.

I find the format of contacting you a bit wrong. But after reading it, I'm just wondering if it's an issue that they just want to discuss rather than a major problem. They were probably told that they can reach anyone who works for/at V4L through here.

Guess we'll have to see what Steve or Mark or Val etc have to say.

OK real break from the internet commencing, had to comment here. :)

i dont see anything disturbing. This will be a new trend in sales. Instead of telemarketers it will be telemessengers.

Maybe disturbing was the wrong word. I changed it to strange.

It sounds to me like this person works at the factory V4L buys from and thought you worked for V4L. It may just be an innocent mistake. But... you never know what people are up to these days.

I'm not sure who they were. When I asked what company they worked for all they gave me was a first name. After the recent credit card scam that went on I'm really leery of things like this. Had I not been leery in the past, my card would have been hit. They tried but I had already canceled that card.

I hope Nina messages me, I iz gonna ask what shes wearing lol ;)

Put your Yahoo name up and you might get lucky, lol

I do..how do they know how to reach her. Why are they linkng her to V4L? Too many questions..It's a bit creepy!

Thanks MaryKay! I did have my Yahoo username in my profile but it's not there anymore! And yeah, a lot of questions. Why wouldn't they give me their supplier name or username if they are on ECF?

Isn't Leaford who toured there? I'm new, but maybe Nina got the hots for him.:p

As far as I know Leaford is the only one that is over there. So why did s/he contact me? Jules is a far different name than Leaford and I don't have a supplier user title. I should have just let her go on to see what was up. It just really bothered me.

Jules, do you have your Blog entries marked to receive email notifications, I just checked mine and they were set to "received email notifications"....I reset it to "no email notifications"
Maybe yours aren't set. Click on your name, view blogs, and then go to the little "gear" looking thing, blog control panel, reset your notification preference.
