This morning I got this charming little note at work:
Now, this would all be rather intriguing, except that seven years ago I spent my summer (mostly) alone in wilds of South Australia, doing work on my dissertation. sigh So if it’s legit, the fella has simply got the wrong email address. On the other hand, I thought maybe someone had come up with a cute and simple way of just verifying that my email was still active.
So… anyone else get something like this lately? Do you think it’s spam, or shall i just answer him and see what happens? :dubious:
you told me that I was the only person who’d licked ice cubes off your stomach!
[sub]in seriousness it’s almost certainly an email verifier. sorry. just think of it as a clever version of the "hi!!! we chatted on AIM and i promised you naked pics!!![/sub]
garius, sweetie, OF COURSE you were the only one ever! [sub]must have been one heckuva night, because I can’t remember anything else…[/sub]
lol, Duke, that would be a great response, but only if I had some better idea whether it was just someone pulling my leg.
Severian, I didn’t think it was spoofed, but here’s the rest of the header info for you:
I was leaning more toward the spam side of things, myself. After all, I’m pretty sure I would have remembered #6, too! But the rest of the message (in HTML format) doesn’t have any funny character strings, etc., nothing that seems out of place.
I’m sorely tempted to reply… maybe from my Netscape account instead, since that one’s meant to be a spam collector anyways.
Well, his Yahoo ID doesn’t yield any other useful info, just “no answer” for gender and the fact that this profile was last updated today. :dubious: His location in NJ wouldn’t be too far of a stretch, though. Hmmmm…
IKNOW I’d remember licking ice cubes off of someone’s tummy or vice versa…
Then again writing back and being all chatty and sympathic about having put in the wrong address would be just like me as well… and hell whats a little more spam glurging up my account anyway I it is just a verifier
But the rest of the message (in HTML format) doesn’t have any funny character strings, etc., nothing that seems out of place.
