I just an e-mail from a reporter for the Wall Street Journal.

This is interesting.

Just got an e-mail from a Wall Street Journal reporter. He wants me to call him as he has some questions about my firing from Home Depot. He gave me his phone number, and the headers seem legit, and the e-mail is "name@wsj.com" The phone number is for New York. (212 area code )

The e-mail that it was sent to is my AT Forum e-mail. I only use it here, so he must have gotten it here.

So I am kinda freaking out here. Just wanted to let you all know I have to go talk to some people before I reply to him.

Like a lawyer perhaps.

 

[fatbaby]

tell him you refuse to talk with anyone except for benjamin franklin

 

[PeeluckyDuckee]

you got fired from Home Depot and this is news? What's the full story on this?

 

[Angrymarshmello]

Just email him back at that @wsj.com - that pretty much proves if he's legit or not. Did he say why he wants to ask you questions?

Let him know about Ebay's draconian polices too. I've been trying to raise awarenesss for the fleecing of america.

If it is legit would you still want to follow through with it?

 

[PeeluckyDuckee]

I had a CNN reporter email me once about a hot deal gone sour.

Evadman, go for it, it looks legit. Good story too if you ask me.

 

[richardycc]

they probably wanna do a story on how people got fired for violating the DMCA law?

rich

The first article by him on the subject is pasted in the Hot Deals forum on Obese Billfold. Very interesting. Apparently he frequents the online shopping mercenary forums.

How could anyone miss the sticky at the top...

I'd email him back and ask what kinds of stuff he wants to know and that you'll think about it.

 

[308nato]

The article is by Lieber of the WSJ. Its legit. he has been there for a long time. Call him up. He already refered to you and anandtech in the promo piece. Might as well get yourself quoted. Maybe you will get rich and I can come drive your John Deere someday.

First see if you can get into any legal trouble by answering his questions.

I doubt it, but who would'a thought you'd get fired for posting some Hot Deals

Apparently we have a WSJ reporter lurking among us.

I received a PM from a WSJ reporter (sorry can't remember the name, maybe I can locate the PM) a few months ago regarding a Hot Deal, but I declined to be interviewed.

The last thing I need is for the world to know that Ross doesn't have a life and spends at least 2 hours a day here.

No thanks.
