Is this mail real?

Is anyone else getting email, supposedly from downloadable@flyawaysimulation.com ? These emails purport to be selling "FS2004 Martin Seamaster P6M-2 Only $2!"

Does anyone know if these emails are genuine? They appear to contain links to paypal, but then again, half of the junkmail I get has links to paypal. Rolling Eyes

I didn't notice SamIntel's post. Unless someone has harvested our email addresses, I uspect it might be real. Only then, I would ask the question:

Why would anyone use junk mail when it could be placed on this web site? While it might reach those who haven't been interested in browsing here, it might also cause a lot of folks to adjust their spam filters to consign that email address to the lowest level of hell. Devil

Hello!

My first post to this forums.

I received also that e-mail but i'm quite sure that it isn't real. If you have looked other flight simulator sites you will find out this aircraft has been released few weeks ago as freeware. At least the picture and description is same than in "fly away simulation" e-mail.

Copied from flightsim.com

Thanks for everyone of welcome messages. CrashGordon I have been a registered member for a long time (year or two) but I haven't just wrote anything to these forums before this day.

I mainly thinked that mail must be fake as I can't see any reason why anyone would ask for money of a product which can be downloaded legally for free.

Lets wait for a answer from flyaway. By the way i'm already coming quite addicted to this forum Very Happy

I can see that. The number of times you posted has doubled. Shocked

Since I haven't seen a whole lot of people saying, "i got one of those emails", I have a hunch that they are either being snagged by anti-spam programs, or only a few such emails have been sent.

What makes mey think they might be real is the fact that I got one to the email address I used when I signed up and one to the one I changed it to later on.

CrashGordon,

I got the same email late last night and straight away I deleted it with most of the emails I get from flyaway.

Also by looking over the quote from the read me the plane can't even be hosted on the FlyAway server
