I received this weird message "you've been a contributor to the baking community blah, blah, blah"  This person has no account and it sounds as if they are asking for money.  That they are not going to get!  I tried to find the message, now its gone.  What's wrong with people?  You come to a cake site to run a con?  Ugh.

I got one the other day and didn't bother returning the message, or clicking his link, so I just deleted it.  It struck me as odd.

"let's make the baking community bigger". It's pretty big already, what more do you want lol then he didn't give any real information as to what he was trying to do.

Yes, I laughed too at the "contributer to the baking community."  I'm an amateur and bake only for family and close friends.  How did they catch up with me?
