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.

I always thought there was something fishy about that guy. Seemed way too confident of himself
作者: PalacioHill    时间: 2011-8-24 12:44

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.

Hi guys,

I got Omar's notes from "Rapidshare" earlier this week. The notes are legit.
作者: anish    时间: 2011-8-24 12:56

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.

Did you post your email address here? There are several bootleg sellers posting on threads here. Its probably them emailing you.
作者: RoastBeef    时间: 2011-8-24 13:08

No, a while back he had a "One Week Only" post. After the week expired he said e-mail him for the info. I made a new e-mail address and only used it for that one purpose. About a week later I started getting weekly e-mails from someone trying to sell me bootleg study materials. Couldn't have been anyone else. He's the only person who had that address.

If you get them off of a site he posts them to your fine. But, if they expire and he says e-mail him and he'll send them, beware.

It's not a huge deal, just trying to let people know about it.

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: bchadwick    时间: 2011-8-24 13:20

Sounds good.
作者: CPATrader    时间: 2011-8-24 13:32

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.

I emailed Omar for notes and he sent me the links. All of the links were legit and there was NO SPAM.
作者: cjs238    时间: 2011-8-24 13:44

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: IAmNeil    时间: 2011-8-24 13:50

Omar"s notes were really nice> honestly the guy is a giver. i did not get ANY SPAM either
作者: onelife1    时间: 2011-8-24 13:56

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: comp_sci_kid    时间: 2011-8-24 14:02

I'd appreciate the notes for L2 and just in case, L1 (but trying to think positive)

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: Zestt    时间: 2011-8-24 14:19

are omar's notes still available?
作者: former    时间: 2011-8-24 14:26

Omar. In case you are still around here could you please post these notes again?
作者: maratikus    时间: 2011-8-24 14:32

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: krause2    时间: 2011-8-24 14:38

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: WarrenB1    时间: 2011-8-24 14:43

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: KungFuPanda    时间: 2011-8-24 14:55

pls add me to the list of recipients for his notes for level 1.

Omar thanks in advance buddy
作者: DoubleDip    时间: 2011-8-24 15:01

Please add me as well to the list of recipients for the notes for Level 1. Thanks a lot!!! Omar, you rock! Thanks for even sharing your notes.
作者: chandsingh    时间: 2011-8-24 15:07

Omer thanks for your notes they were seriously helping for preparation except the one you wrote in your own hand writings it was hard to read Only. I wish they would have done on word. thanks and dont be hyper on such statments of people. if you are wrong, dont care about on these comments by some crakers. you did a fantastic job and I really appreciate candidates like you who knows diffculties on their journey so letting others' not to hit by them. thanks againnnnnnnnnnn
