If you e-mail Omar Adnan for his "One Week Only" personal study notes, be prepared to get spammed. I e-mailed him and ended up getting weekly spam e-mails trying to sell bootleg study material.作者: yalo 时间: 2011-8-15 12:58
I always thought there was something fishy about that guy. Seemed way too confident of himself作者: zephyranalyst 时间: 2011-8-15 12:58
I thought the same thing. It seems odd that someone would offer their study notes over and over again for "One Week Only" but only after you e-mail him.作者: LPoulin133 时间: 2011-8-15 12:58
Hi guys,
I got Omar's notes from "Rapidshare" earlier this week. The notes are legit.作者: svgleeson 时间: 2011-8-15 12:58
The notes are legit, but he used to ask for e-mails and he'd send you the link. I had a new e-mail address I set up specifically to e-mail him for them (since I didn't want to give out my real address). Right after I sent it I started getting spam e-mails trying to sell me bootleg Schweser notes. He's the only person who had that e-mail address, so I know that's where it came from.作者: thecfawannabe 时间: 2011-8-15 12:58
Did you post your email address here? There are several bootleg sellers posting on threads here. Its probably them emailing you.作者: dvilayphet 时间: 2011-8-15 12:59
Oh oh wait a second .. WTH is going on here lool
More than 200 freaking people in this forum got my notes before and i never spammed any!!!
I have posted the links online in this forum for God sake! and you guys know what? It's my mistake that I'm making my notes available
I'm NEVER uploading them again and if I ever get email from anyone from now on asking for the notes, I will report them!
I was stupid enough to bother sharing them in the first place!作者: jcole21 时间: 2011-8-15 12:59
Sounds good.作者: jbaldyga 时间: 2011-8-15 12:59
I believe the core objective of this forum is for we professionals to network, share ideas and assist one another to climb the high mountain of cfa exams.
A benevolent fellow professional has decided to assist others pass the exam by sacrificing his precious time to make available decent notes that are as good as any established prep provider material and all you guys can do in appreciation is accuse him of spamming u?
I think this is ridiculous and i must advise those doing this to back peddle because this is certain to discourage other 'good samaritans' from making the attempt to assist others on this forum.
Pls lets keep the forum from unnecessary controversy!作者: economicz 时间: 2011-8-15 12:59
I didnt use Omar notes, but I opened the link and I should admit that they didnt look any commercial at tall. They were truly the notes of a guy who prepare himself for the exam, wrote his own personal notes and wanted to share them (as i felt it).
TRUE if you got spammed, I think there might be another reason, it's weird, but for what I saw since the beginning when omar started posted his notes just after Dec 2010 exam, this was just a giver guy.
He's enrolled to L2 exam, the note are hand written, He even asked some people once to help him upload them in a share website to have them permanently available there, what some people did...so it's hard to believe in any spam behind.作者: eoin 时间: 2011-8-15 12:59
I emailed Omar for notes and he sent me the links. All of the links were legit and there was NO SPAM.作者: mik82 时间: 2011-8-15 12:59
I DLed his notes off of the site he put them up on (which I thought was unbelievably kind) and I had to give them my email to get them. Also NO spam for me, and I was almost expecting some.作者: sabre 时间: 2011-8-15 12:59
Omar"s notes were really nice> honestly the guy is a giver. i did not get ANY SPAM either作者: SFoyil 时间: 2011-8-15 12:59
i got omars notes through email few weeks back.... no additional spam except for what i was getting before his mail haha... omar you rocks作者: Zestt 时间: 2011-8-15 13:00
I'd appreciate the notes for L2 and just in case, L1 (but trying to think positive)作者: cv4cfa 时间: 2011-8-15 13:00
His notes were an excellent resource. I think he offered his notes for Level II as well. Good man.作者: tikfed 时间: 2011-8-15 13:00

this is ridiculous. i have taken L1 and L2 at the same time as Omar and received some of his notes. this never happened to me and i've corresponded w/ omar several times.
in case you are clueless, if you set up a free email box at some companies (yahoo etc.) they will search your inbox for keywords that they sell to advertisers like the term CFA. if you randomly start getting CFA spam mail after receiving CFA-worded emails, dont be surprised.
my email is hosted through a private server that I own and I never received any such spam.作者: tango_gs 时间: 2011-8-15 13:00
are omar's notes still available?作者: cv4cfa 时间: 2011-8-15 13:00
Omar. In case you are still around here could you please post these notes again?作者: cfalevel2011 时间: 2011-8-15 13:00
Lets forget all misunderstandings. Those who have been benifited from Omars must have words of appreciation in their mind. If one guy is benifitted from Omars note , I think he should be applauded as a contributor to the forum. Three Cheers to him!! Those who are beng spammed , there might be other reason.
I am plainning to sit for L1 December 2011 . Can Any body email me Oars note?
Thx作者: torontoanalyst 时间: 2011-8-15 13:00
Oh gimme a break, the guy is a great contributor and has probably the highest marks scored in the CFA level 2 mocks in this entire forum. All around quality person in my books. the only one complaining about his notes is True whom i believe just jumped to conclusions rather hastily, no harm done.作者: LPoulin133 时间: 2011-8-15 13:00
I feel all our friends and fellow colleages who raised this dust in the first place should tender an unreserved apology to our exceptional friend and brother Omar.
This will help douse the tension the whole episode has created and mantain the spirit of benevolence on the forum. Afterall, more forum members will still request for those notes because they are simply excellent!

I guess I will be the next to ask if Omar's notes are available or if anyone would be kind enough to share them. It would be greatly appreciated.作者: jcole21 时间: 2011-8-15 13:01
pls add me to the list of recipients for his notes for level 1.
