      Yesterday afternoon this message (viewed as a screenshot) arrived in my email inbox from the Forum.

      Screenshot 2025-12-26 at 23-02-23 Model Engineer & Workshop Magazine New message from VGC - john.g.allen28@gmail.com - Gmail

      I did not click on the link, it looked slightly wrong, but went to my message box on the Forum. The sender, who had no recorded activity or profile, was @sephana-93056. I did not open the message.

      I think that this is an AI generated nasty.

        It certainly looks odd ! The wording is strange. Youtube is now full of AI generated content that is utter nonsense, it will destroy it’s self if it is not stopped.

        A friend of mine about 20 years ago told me that in time the internet will, destroy it’s self – I’m beginning to think he was right.  Noel.

              Surprise, surprise!😆😆

              Unlikely AI.  More likely just a phishing, scamming scumbag trying it on?  AI would likely have sent out lots of them.

              Apologies to the instigator if I’m wrong…….

                        Ah! I can tell this is fake, because it doesn’t say “Trending: 1571 people have bought this item” and “Last One Remaining”.
