I believe we must have received the same message, as I am sure others here did as well.

Looks like I had the same email on 13th. I've not responded though as I wasn't sure if it was genuine or not, I'm a bit more wary of things these days. Could well be genuine, I don't like to offend by ignoring, but.........

If you Google "tipsplant", you will find a web site selling an online course on growing adeniums

I also receive thr same message. The guy want to send me an E-book. Could it be a hacker?

I respectfully declined but if he sends a file in a format for which you'll need to install an executable file, don't do it. I think it's a PDF though. Plus the clickbait that Brad mentioned.

Fortunately, the online course on growing adenium, with individualized training and advise is completely and absolutely free right here!

Hello, Everybody! I’m Michael Bauer. I really chose you (10 persons) and offered you to read my book about Adenium after I read your answers on this forum. I think you are experts.

I’d like to know your opinion about the book before publishing it. It’s very important for me. The book isn’t yet available for purchase.

Today I have a comment from Jericson Pastor. I’d be glad if someone else will have a look and comment on my book.

If you have questions, write me a message or email to admin@tipsplants.com

Thank you,

Michael Bauer

Michael. Sorry if you were offended but we have to be careful. i know you will understand.

Michael, Glad that you posted this. No, disrespect was intended, but with all of the scetchy emails and other unfortunately we can become cautious.

I downloaded the pdf and did a virus scanner on it and open it in a sandbox and it looks good to go. Not a bad book.

I did the same, Stuart. The file is safe to open. I'm sure Michael understands the initial hesitation.

I'm hardly an expert but am flattered to have been included. I think more than "in the know," the author wants the opinion of those who are "in the dirt." Many on this forum qualify.

The illustrated concept is very eye-catching & attractive in its readability. I will definitely review content later this week and add my 2 cents.
