[Alan Smithiee]

is this legit or not? it got caught in my spam filter, but the "www.na00.com" "[email protected]" and "Sincerely, NRA Member Services", doesn't sound like the ones I've gotten in the past.

It looks like the ones I've been getting.

They seem legit because they link to NRA store.

 

[SLOdraw]

Suspicious

The domain NA00.com is registered to an individual out of Wisconson and no web site is connected to it.

I would not respond to it.

 

[Preacherman]

May I suggest that you inform the NRA about this, and send them a copy of the e-mail, including the full header? They will probably want to take action against whoever's using their name in vain, if that's the case.

 

[Standing Wolf]

I received it yesterday and discarded it. I get something in the mail from the N.R.A. at least once a week, and respond more weeks than not. I don't need another avenue of contributions.

 

[C.R.Sam]

Agree with Preacherman.
Whole thing with headers to NRA.

Looks like someone trollin to me.
Fishin for gun owners ?

Lot of similar stuff comin from bogus eBay and PayPal addys that are fishing for secure iformation.

Some of the bogus stuff will get you a worm or virus when you use their link.

[Azrael256]

Ok, in case you're interested...

This na00.com thing is registered to the same guy who apparently owns netappls.com. They're basically a spammer service. Lots of ISP's that do spam filtering kill their stuff. I don't know why NRA would hire a company like that, so I'd say something fishy is up.

 

[C.R.Sam]

Darn tootin, thankee sir.

[Alan Smithiee]

already forwarded to NRA with full headers, first thing, no word back as yet.

this just in...
