Got an email from

woodworking-e-plans+noreply@googlegroups.com

Hi gary,
Woodnet added you to the Woodworking group.

I've gotten a couple that are similar offering free plans, and wondering why I haven't downloaded it. It says I'm part of a google group but they haven't said WoodNet. No I didn't download any plans.

I've had offers of woodworking plans, too, from something claiming to be a Google group but not WoodNet. I looked into it a little without clicking on anything and couldn't sort out what it was, so I just delete them. I believe the name associated is "Larry Kirk" but I'm not sure.

Larry Kirk is the name on mine too. I took a screen shot but for some reason Photobucket doesn't want to upload it right now.

The fellow who is pushing illegal(copyrighted plans) has evidently changed his business name to Larry Kirk. I disremember what it used to be, but it was the 10,000 free plans scam.

My guess is I'd be shaking hands with a virus or other malware. To the dumpster with this email.

Thanks guys! g

Didn't come from us. No affiliation with WoodNet, officially or unofficially.
