Dear Sir

I looking for contributor's how can share data to complete a Googlemaps project as you can see here: www.radarvirtuel.com

I just need 30003 outbound port open and fixed ip or dyndns.

As you can see how the email reads it smell a bit fishey,

Have any other users of our forum received this email?

[M0XDJ]

would you like me to forward the email i got to you at the support email address?

[hans]

got that  in "my messages" on this forum some time ago.

I made contact with Laurent on my gmail account within a week or two of getting my radarbox. He has a great setup and service and it's 99% transparent to the RB end user.

Same as Hans above, this character contacted me within 24 hours of me registering here asking me to share my info with him.

I am currently sharing my data with radarvirtuel.com and have emailed Laurent on a number of occasions. Nothing to worry about.

Hi

We also share our data and have found him totally genuine. It was actually us who contacted him.  I believe he just needs extra people willing to share their data to get better coverage of some areas.  I hope his site continues as we find it very useful if we are away from home and our RB as we can still see the traffic in our area then.

I too had a similar email from Laurent.

I signed up to radarvirtuel, although Laurent had to guide my PC through the process so that my RadarBox output could be shared.

Ah - you mean the free alternative to the paid RadarBox network ?

Standby, this thread will self-destruct in  5...4...3...2...1...

I received such an email a day or two after registering on the Forum.

We are already in contact with Laurent from RadarVirtuel. Tks for all your help/feedback.

All I ever get at that site is this error message.  It then consumes 100% CPU.

Try a different browser, I don't think it works with IE.
