Did anyone else receive a private message from Silverfox2022?

Hi, Ladies

I was just curious…it freaked me out a little…like, where did he come from? and now he seems to have vanished. We are very close here, and are pretty adept at sniffing a “fox in the henhouse.” Pun intended! I don’t think a more apropos pun exists! 😂

So this guy, Silverfox2022…Had some “red flags”…1) he’s a GUY…so what’s he doing hanging out on the uterine board? Picture of him, bald with grey beard. And there was no evidence he was here in support of any woman in his life, 2) He posted on some ancient thread, like that originated in 2010 or 2014, and seemed not to notice or be able to see that that person hadn’t been around in years (that happens occasionally, but this was one of several red flags!), and then 3) I received a bizarre personal message from him. I don’t know him, and he seemed to come out of nowhere! His message read like this…..”When we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong….blah, blah, blah….God loves you.”

My guess is that the CSNSupportTeam already “took care of him.” The private message is gone from my box.

😎, Alicia

    Alicia,

    I was very suspicious of him as well. No personal message to me though. I thought initially he said he supported his wife thru cancer. I thought he might be looking for love in the wrong place. The silver fox has left the hen house!

    Thx, Lyn!

    I don’t recall any mention of a wife, but his posts appear to have been removed, so we’ll never know , I guess!

    Weird….I kinda got that “looking for love” vibe, too! It seemed ridiculously inappropriate! Another 🚩! Funny how our radar works, right?

    ❤️, A

    He did mention a wife. I believe he said she had died but I’m not 100% sure of that. Sorry you had to get an uncomfortable email from him.

    Dear Emily,

    No need to apologize, but thank you!! Oh….no, it would take a whole lot more than that to scare me away! Right, Ladies? We’re a pretty tough group here on the Uterine Board!

    Originally, I did consider going straight to the CSN Support Team, but I figured since he’d vanished, y’all already knew about him.

    And I wanted to send out a “Head’s Up” to my sisters here!

    Glad he’s gone! Thx!

    😎, Alicia

    You bet, Alicia,

    Child of the 60's, strong woman and cancer fighter. It would take more than some aging silverfox's catfishing to discourage me from posting with my Sisters.
