I just got an email with the topic heading Mesh Recall Lawsuit. I didn't open it but didn't delete it either as it seemed to be sim related. if it's a scam or malware, then it seems to be targeted against users of flight sim products. Does anyone know anything about this?

Hi, I believe this is probably a type of phising scam aimed at people who had a synthetic surgical mesh implant. It's the same sort of thing as those class-action lawsuits against drug companies. A mailing list probably got hacked. I still wouldn't open it-just delete it. I get these too from time to time.

If it's what I suspect, it concerns a company that creates and sells 3d model meshes, and a conflict with a developer/distributor who has allegedly not paid for their work. Since I don't have the email, that's just a guess based on something I've recently read elsewhere.

I don't know anything about it Ian. But thanks for letting us all know.

 

I searched around to see what it might be and found a bunch of medical lawsuit stuff. Including about KUGEL Hernia Mesh Recall and possible lawsuits to do with that.

It could be what Bill says too - I think that would be the most convincing explanation.

Hernia Mesh for FS9 v1.0

 

Can't wait to see that uploaded.

"Hernia mesh for FS9" ---- LOL - I saw the word "mesh" and the only thing that meant to me was FS mesh. Now I know it's just another phishing scam. Sorry for the false alarm but I just jumped to the conclusion that it was someone who was deliberately targeting FS users. I'm sure it was just another random "phishing" expedition. I very much hope that if there is such a thing as "hell, that there is a special room reserved for these kinds of people!!!!!

Didn't get it but thanks for the info. It's disturbing that the real world has stolen our FS vocabulary :-)

Who stole what? I don't see any mention of FS anywere.

Umm I used the :-) to indicate joke. A common habit on the internet ;-)

Probably something related to a mesh recall regarding the knitted mesh used for surgical. TV ads running on it. SPAM

 

Also most malware these days comes from ads according to sometime seen in the news vs porn sites

Please let the thread die guys. It was clearly a phishing email which I normally would have deleted without a second thought. it was the word "mesh" that made me think it might have come from someone who had hacked an email list of FS hobbyists. That's why I wanted to give a warning. But it is not FS related at all so there's no point in adding anything to this thread. False alarm........

A class action over mesh? I'm sure I deserve recompense of some kind for that annoying plateau at my local airport......
