haven't heard of it


Re: Woodnet Google Group?? - Boatman53 - 04-06-2016

I've gotten a couple that are similar offering free plans, and wondering why I haven't downloaded it. It says I'm part of a google group but they haven't said WoodNet. No I didn't download any plans.

My guess is I'd be shaking hands with a virus or other malware. To the dumpster with this email.

I've had offers of woodworking plans, too, from something claiming to be a Google group but not WoodNet. I looked into it a little without clicking on anything and couldn't sort out what it was, so I just delete them. I believe the name associated is "Larry Kirk" but I'm not sure.


Re: Woodnet Google Group?? - Boatman53 - 04-07-2016

Larry Kirk is the name on mine too. I took a screen shot but for some reason Photobucket doesn't want to upload it right now.

Didn't come from us. No affiliation with WoodNet, officially or unofficially.


Re: Woodnet Google Group?? - K. L. McReynolds - 04-07-2016

The fellow who is pushing illegal(copyrighted plans) has evidently changed his business name to Larry Kirk. I disremember what it used to be, but it was the 10,000 free plans scam.
