    Boy, we all seem to be guilty of something here by proxy..
    It is actually gotten to be quite comical almost if it didnt seem to be such a serious matter.
    I wonder just what the hell he/she/it wants anyway?… Just scamming for emails for spam?

    FYI- On the Today show 3/20 Chris Hanson is doing a segment on e-mail scammers. If you missed it you may be able to access it on their web site.

    I received the same e-mail with a Bushie referral. I suggested Hot Dog University.

    That’s interesting, I got one today too saying I was referred by leechef [:I]

    Only kidding!! [}:)][:o)][;)]

    I did get an e-mail from him and I’m certainly not a small business owner.

    Tony evicted the guy today. Please notify a moderator if you receive any additional email using the website email service. If he now has your ‘direct’ email I suggest that you include his address in whatever ‘blocking’ service you have.

    Boot him. I got one this morning too, and I’ve hardly portrayed myself as a small-business owner. I really resent getting this.

    I also got one from him.
    I told him I didnt own a biz, and he replied and said sorry to bother.
    But the gist of it did raise the red flag though.

    All good cons start off sounding legit. He used the site to gain access to members. Show me one post by this person. His entire intent for joining was to gain access to the membership.

    I say boot him. Of course, that and $1.19 will get me a small triple latte.
