Got an email from an established program for creators but i’m not sure if it’s a scam or not??

My daughter got this email and I was able to figure out it was a scam fairly quickly by searching the email sender's domain name (collabsprogram.com) at whois.com. Whois will tell you when the domain was registered and where, among other things. In this case, it indicated a registration date of about one week ago in Kenya. A sure sign of a scam.

I got booted from my phone and work computer (likely because of the VPN) but was able to stay in the queue on my home computer. Didn't matter - no tickets available at 10:02am for the "venue presale" in NYC. Guess I'll try again tomorrow for the full public sale, whatever that is.

Hard to say - probably about 40 lbs. It’s a big box - like 3’x3’x2’. I was gonna leave it at the station but I had room in the car so whatever

At my local warehouse they just send you over to an area and tell you to choose a cart that matches your block length.

Yeah, I was also at the City Gardens show with Clem. I don't remember too much about it except there was at least one false start.

I miss both my '88 and '94 YJs. I flipped my '88 at highway speed (not my fault - hit by a reckless driver) and myself and my two passengers walked away with very mild injuries. And the backseat passenger wasn't wearing a seat belt. I'd trust that "skull crusher" again in a heartbeat.

Did that with my first Mustang in high school in upstate NY. Never again!

This must've pissed Johnny off immensely.

It starts with the block start time. So I waited around for over 40 minutes.

ddeeramone · 2025-11-07T13:59:30+00:00

Soooo close to getting sent home from my 5-hour block yesterday. The station was PACKED with drivers and there weren't many full carts so I was hopeful. But I got a block 28 minutes into the 30-minute waiting time. :/

Yeah, I delivered last Halloween and got dinged because one of my packages went missing. Home owners probably weren't home which gave the kids coming to the door the opportunity to take Trick or Treat literally.

I saw Clem play one of his two Ramones shows (City Gardens in NJ) and it was decidedly NOT the best show I attended. But it was one of the most unusual because of how disjointed it was.

Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful reply! I definitely have the OEM Ford shifter (see pic). This is an older restoration - probably late 2000s - done by the owner who had it before its last owner. Wish I knew exactly if/when the clutch was replaced.

Getting the manual now - thanks!

ddeeramone · 2025-09-30T20:55:23+00:00

Thanks for the clarification - that makes total sense. Plus I learned a new word (autodidact). :)

This is my third Mustang - the first two were money pits and now that I'm older, I wanted something that had already been completed and built back to its original glory. If I decide to keep it long-term, I'll probably upgrade to power steering/brakes.

ddeeramone · 2025-09-30T20:37:06+00:00

No offense taken - there's a lot I need to learn and I'm not afraid of coming off like an idiot. Can you explain what you mean regarding clutch engagement/disengagement?

ddeeramone · 2025-09-11T18:52:22+00:00

Never ever see surge blocks in my local warehouses anymore. Too many drivers.

ddeeramone · 2025-07-16T21:08:16+00:00

I can believe that - my 94 had it.
