Mercy! I feel like one of the posters at the DU asking this question. :eek:

Just got this in my inbox. Have NOT replied. Here it is:

================================================== ========

Greetings,

My name is Aurelia.

I want to chat with you.

I found your email at portal and publish my own anketa at

Do you want to chat with me?

It's just a spammer. Probably some malicious logic at that link. Don't click it, just mark that email as spam.

**ABC in Georgia** · 05-05-2011, 08:55 PM

Thanks!

Do not usually get any spam whatsoever. Is why it bothered me.

Let ya go ... must finish cleaning up kitchen from late dinner, and get ready to watch the Republican Debate on Fox.

Got an old new word for you...malware.

**ABC in Georgia** · 05-05-2011, 09:04 PM

Hi ...

I've got Malwarebytes' Anti-malware. Thought it was good enough. Not, huh? Oh Rats! :mad:

I am a 69 year old woman. Been married 49 years ... if this twit is looking for an American husband ... she sure as hell isn't getting mine.

Not after all my careful *training!* :D

Also ... what are "known email nodes?"

The freeware version of Malwarebytes is just a tool, it's not a firewall. You might want to raise your security settings in your current firewall or if you aren't running one, get help in engaging Windows Defender or whatever is applicable to your OS. ;)

How would she know that ?To her you're just a potentially rich American male sucker looking for hot sex !I've run into a few guys who were desperate enough to fall for the Beautiful Russian schtek looking for an American guy and after sending her round trip plane tickets they disappear from view after the tickets are used .:D
