Emails from mrlk

Post by Marky7890 »

Hi all members,

Recently the newly registered user "mrlk" has been sending out emails to various forum members posting a "link" to what is apparently a pirate copy of Sherman Hill v3.1. I have not opened the link to find out in case it links to a virus or malware and advise others not to open it either.

I have since deleted this user and all their posts on the forum, most of them only refencing the link and route anyway.

This should hopefully be the end of the matter.

Many Thanks,
Mark.

He's been banned by Zec on the N3V forum as well for the same problem and Trainz Italia are aware of his activities.

I did check the Link, Sandboxed it on Linux, it goes to an archived British Trainz Page on Archive Today that contains a working Link to download Sherman Hill and Heavy Metal Job, didn't check the links was as claimed.

Presumably he archived the post knowing it was going to get deleted.

As he was slating someone for reskinning stuff from a pirate site and accusing them of theft he seems to have double standards, I'd guess a Troll out to cause problems.
