WTH Do you make of this email?

[CPA]

Just got this today and not sure what to make of it. There were no attachments so I am pretty sure this is not a virus of some sort, but at the same time I am hesitant to respond, even out of curiosity. I don't even know what profile she/he is talking about.

Subject: Hi, its Kara

Hi there, how's it going? Well for starters I must confess that this is indeed pretty awkward. I noticed your profile online and figured I'd drop ya a line....I bet that doesn't happen to you everyday! I never really even thought about it until someone saw mine and got in touch a little while back. ANYWAY! My name is Kara, I'm 26, and I'm a sale rep for a mid-sized pharmaceutical company. Goodness I can't get over how strange this is! I'm sure you're probably thinking the same thing! hehe. Oh well, I really don't want to go on too far. Especially since I'm not sure whether or not you have any intrest. But if you would like to get to know more about me, please drop me a line. I'll be more than happy to include some pics as well. Any pics you might have would be greatly apreciated as well Well I hope to hear from you soon! Take care. xoxo, Kara P.S. Do you use any messenger services, maybe we can chat on there sometime? My email address is kara_885_little@hotmail.com

Respond and play along

You are married though right? Maybe she got your email mixed up.

don't email her back. it lets spammers know your email is active. well i guess they already have your email since you got that.

If you reply, it will validate your email adress for Spam.

Just my guess

$100 says that if you reply to that e-mail, your address will be on every confirmed spam list in the country.

I got the EXACT same e-mail twice. It's just spam. I deleted it without a second glace.

You think that is funny? Well I got this one email at work. I used to have a profile on Facethejury.com with a pic. Some of my coworkers played a prank on me. Here is the email. I almost fell for it. They sent it with a fake email address of another female employee.

Dearest Tommy

I saw your profile on facethejury.com. I didn't know just how
available you were. I know you are a man who needs a superior,
top quality aggressive female. I have to admit that I've seen you
many times before. I've sat next to you, longing for that warm
brown embrace. I want to be the spice in your cous cous. I'm eager
to get WILD wid ya.

Set up a filter to catch all email that is not actually addressed to you. Stops most spam dead.

I got the identical email last week.

I believe the girls(?) name was different.

It was quickly deleted.

Seriously, WTF is the point of spam? Pop-ups? The advertisement doesn't work and it just aggravates everyone who comes across them.
