I just got an email from a person that it looks like he got my email address from my profile here. Person's name is pongo with a Yahoo email address.. Wanted me to convert an old Acid 4 file to mp3 or wav. Told him I wouldn't do it, as who knows what else might be riding on the file. Says he tried to post here and didn't have a serial number. Told him he didn't need a serial number or even had to own a Sony product to post here. Did a search by member name and found nothing. Anybody here know this person? Also, did anyone get an email from him asking to convert his file? This is weird.

I too received an email.
I replied....meh (didn't use important email addy though). I said it depends.
a) need the audio files
b) any VST instruments could/would be a problem.
c) the "forum would not let him post" was wrong, and asked which trial did he download.

So it seems a few of us have been contacted.
FWIW - I do get quite a few emails from users asking 'how to do this or that' - but this one was a little different as it was asking for a service.

Will wait and see if I get any reply.

I seem to remember getting a question about Vegas from that person a while back.

He is correct though; you cannot register for a forum username without a serial number now. 'Course, if he's using ACID 4 he *ought* to have a serial number.

I didn't think I was the only one contacted by this person.

As to needing a s/n to join the forum, that must be relatively new; I've been here for so long that when I joined, IIRC, I didn't need one to join up. This is the only forum I manufacturer's forum I belong to that does that.

Oh well, off to make music.

edit: I should have realized he's probably a warez dood.
further edit: anybody notice the forum time is an hour off?
