    Hello all in, the last few hours I've received 2 emails from a Michael Huffman trying to sell me something called the Green Hinge System. Here's the kicker both emails offer me greetings for his "GARAGE JOUNRNAL FRIENDS".

    I'm not a member at the GJ so what's going on? Has Ryan been hacked?

    Oh well, just thought I'd throw this out there to see what you think.

  2. I got something similar this morning, also. I don't know what the particulars were, I didn't recognize the name so I deleted it without opening.

  5. Is it just a coincidence that we're Alliance members?

    I'm guessing that we all have "visited' there at one time or another, clicked onto one of the links that collected cookies and is now using them to target us.

    If they are members of the GJ let Ryan or myself know. I can look into it as Mod on the GJ forum.

      Hello Garage Journal Friend Danny,



      It’s been awhile since we updated our information for all the loyal garage enthusiasts.

      Green Hinge System continues to grow and add more satisfied customers coast to coast and Canada.



      I will be brief, if your garage door does not seal like you want it to, we have the solution.

      A quick upgrade by replacing your existing garage door hinges that hold the door in the track will make a world of difference.

      So give your garage door the upgrade that pays you back!



      Green Hinge Systems are available in 4, 5 or 6 panel residential systems for light residential and doors 12’ wide or less in width.

      And for commercial grade doors and doors wider than 12’ we haveDanny 4, 5, 6 and 7 panel commercial Systems.



      Visit our website and call me with any questions or to place an order. : )

      Corporate Account Manager

    Just for the record, I HATE targeted marketing. If I wanted to be the target of marketers I would wear one of these.:mad: target.jpg
