Just found another one of those weird, random, "Someone likes you!" pieces of email. Who did that? And did you really believe it was genuine? I thought all those things were email collection bins for the internet demons.

It's a scam. Don't respond to it. What they really want are the e-mail addresses of all of the people who you think might have a crush on you. I think they use if for marketing purposes. Just delete it. :)

What a bummer. I've sent out those anonymous "someone likes you" kind of emails before, and never got a response to it. Maybe somone deleted that too.

Hmm. I mistrust them really. I'm not sure they really work, just steal addresses for the evil Spam demons.

Its SO fake. It's complete BS. In order to get closer to the name of the person who likes you , you have to pass through about 5-6 levels of ' clues ' , and at each level you have to give up 3-4 email addresses of people you know.

Some assclown pumped about 100 fake email addresses from one of my domains into it, and the spam flood was horrendus. Then they sold their list and I got hit with a 2nd wave.

Yeah. If you want, we can just say it's me and not tell everone else.

... Oops....

Hehehe.

I would say that's so sweet to know you have a secret admiration for me, but you gave my address to the internet demons! :P

Tsk.

What I meant was, we could make ppl think it was me, and forego feeding the spam bots.

I would never use a service like that, nor give up anyones info into one.
