There's a question I'd like answered. His account's active he didn't reply so was I target or did he send private messages to others? If invitations get sent privately what's usually the senders intentions if they don't want public reading them? He could've been attempting to scam so I'm confused because I don't know why he sent it to me.

Sorry to ask, but the account in question here is it a newbie account? Or an established member? If it's the former you can simply just ignore the message but if you're curious to know what he's inviting you to then you can continue the conversation with him/her but you should be extremely careful whenever they send any link to you.

If the account is established then you probably should continue the conversation because they might be inviting due to something you normally do here on bitcointalk and thought you'll be fit for a certain job, but you should also keep in mind that the account could also be controlled by a different person entirely who has some malicious intentions for you.

In whatever decision you choose to go with just make sure you're extremely careful and any slight sign of a scam make sure you report them to the forum so as to alert others that were also contacted.

I've received a message I don't know him I don't know why he chose to contact me. After I've replied it's been a week he hasn't contacted me. How common are private messages offering invitations? I post in English & Arabic but he contacted me in Arabic. After I replied he didn't send another message. I've translated them.


Subject may peace blessings of God be upon you
Message Precious brother will you allow me to invite you to something?



I didn't reply immediately. I've included obligatory customary blessings.

Message and upon you may there be peace blessings of God. Brother how can I address your invitation without knowing anything about you. Please explain what you want from me.
