I've been getting this odd spam lately. I don't like spam!! It's love letter junk mail. Usually goes a little something like this...

Subject: steal my heart away

Hi, dear

Love is the most is the most wonderful, powerful and important in world.
With darkness upon me, I try to reach into my soul, but still nothing comes
from my weary pen to express how keen I am *to meet that beautiful love.
In my dreams I am *walking on the sea shore all long evenings with my soul
mate. I?m searching for my love, the man who completes me, with whom we will
become one unit. *I believe that we will find each other from the thousands
of others and finally meet here (URL removed for obvious reasons)

So long
YOLANDA

The odd thing is I've been getting these in my personal account. There's only a couple of old, legit things I've signed up for using the email. Just stores i actually want to contact. I have a spam account for junk crap. Plus my ISP is pretty strict regarding spam. Haven't seen spam in ages. I wonder if this has anything to do with the Steam breech. Anybody else been getting these love letters from a spammer?

That's my brool story co for the night.

Some Russian site obtained my personal email.

About every 2-3 weeks a half dozen "friend request" letters show up. They state that they obtain my email from a romance site and would I respond back to their personal email.

Girls range from mid twenty to mid thirty and are nice looking.
Problem is that they play up the friendship; profess love and then need $$ in one form or another.
