In all honesty, i would have fallen for this.

Create a new SQL user, and add it to the database. Delete the other user, and change config.php.

put it this way I think Rob would go in and fix it before mass emailing people for their info as I believe he keeps it all or would make an annoucment letting us know he needs it

 

That is the only motive of this thread.
Frankly, many will fall for these mails.
But that doesn't mean that people falling for these ideas are dumb. Anyone can...and that's the bottomline here. So be careful and watch out for such mails.

 

iPod, if someone else emails me a similar email, should it be recommended that i pm the user to verify on this forum?

People can use phpmail to make fake emails, and i have never fallen for these before, because it explains in gmail that is doesn't appear to be from who it says it is from.

Its you then!

The internet is filled with scammers (mike, etc).

 

Obviously, the scammer is trying to get away with a free copy of anon's deeplink script. Once he's stolen it, he'll probably try to sell it as his own.
