Title: Has anyone gotten an e-mail like this before?
Post by: Ezloﺕ on April 21, 2008, 01:45:18 PM
Some random guy sent me an e-mail saying how he likes a pic of me. He gives me an e-mail that's completely different than the senders, and tell me to add him.

Also, there's a file attached to it. Then there's this article about Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama by Fox News. psyduck;

This is like the third time I've gotten this. Anyone get something similar?

AOL In The News - Pope Benedict XVI concluded his six-day visit to the United
States with a final address Sunday, thanking Americans for their hospitality
and calling on people worldwide to pursue "justice and peaceful coexistence."


Vice President Dick Cheney joins Pope Benedict XVI for a departure ceremony
at Kennedy Airport.

devotion of the Catholic community here," the pontiff told a cheering crowd of more
than 3,000 at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport on Sunday
night. "It was heart-warming to spend time with leaders and representatives of
other Christian community and other religions."

The pope was introduced by Vice President Dick Cheney, who said, "It's been a
memorable week, and Pope Benedict XVI has stepped into the history of our
country in a very special way."

"You've encountered a nation facing many challenges but with more blessings
than any of us could number," Cheney told the pope, adding later, "You will
always be welcome."

The pontiff told the crowd that his visit earlier in the day to Ground Zero
-- the site of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks -- "will remain firmly
etched in my memory, as I continue to pray for those who died and for all who
suffer in consequence of the tragedy."

He said his visit to the General Assembly of the United Nations was one of
the "high points" of his visit.

"I encourage people of goodwill everywhere to continue working tirelessly to
promote justice and peaceful coexistence between people and nations," the pope
said before his departure.

Benedict's three-day visit to New York was the second leg of his six-day trip
to the United States -- his first since he was elected to the papacy.  Watch
a look back at his U.S. visit Ã,»

Addressing the audience at Yankee Stadium, Benedict called on his flock not
to lose heart "in the face of resistance, adversity and scandal," and
encouraged followers to reject "a false dichotomy between faith and political life."

"'Authority,' 'obedience' -- to be frank, these are not easy words to speak
nowadays. Words like these represent a 'stumbling stone' for many of our
contemporaries, especially in a society which rightly places a high value on
personal freedom," he said in a homily delivered during his last Mass in the United
States as millions across the world watched on television.

Vatican analysts have said one of the 81-year-old pope's goals for his trip
was to help keep American Catholics in the flock, as many have left the church
in recent years.

An influx of Latino Catholics has boosted the overall U.S. Catholic
population. Parts of Sunday's service were in Spanish.

I don't get it; is it a weird attempt by philanthropic individuals to increase knowledge of world events? Or just a weird identity theft scheme?

Was that some attempt at pointing out an error? "E-mail" is a correct way to spell it, you know.

I would assume that if you talked to the MSN address supplied, it would most likely be an adbot.
