Questionable email

Just received an email supposedly from the DTR webmaster with the title "New Reply to Truck_instruments at Diesel Truck Resources"

Not having sent out anything, I am wondering if this email is legit? Not going to open it.

Why don't you for safety's sake, forward it to me and I will check it out for you.

I got one today saying i won a grand prize from Shell Oil. When converted to dollars, it was a cash prize of a little over 900K. All they needed was a big list of very personal questions answered and they'd send it right away.

Stan,

That email you got was a notice that someone posted a comment in your photo gallery, specifically your photo of your Truck_Instruments. It is a legitimate email from us

Thanks Lary for that fast response. Based on what you told me I did open that email and you were correct (are you ever wrong? ) It was from a DTR member, but as I had never received an email from DTR like this one, was cautious.

I would rather you be safe then sorry Stan

As far as me ever being wrong.... well I figure if I had a dollar for every time I was wrong, I could afford to hire an Attorney and file bankruptcy I am wrong a lot more than I care to admit
