I got this random e-mail today.
( Read It Here )
Now, I'm no dummy, I'm not opening the attachment here, since I have no virus software (I'll scan it and open it at work tomorrow). But the rest of the mail is... intriguing. The work address the mail came from looks like a real address, and lots of people use yahoo for their personal mail. BUT, if I search for myself on the search site she references, I get no hits. My employee profile for MerlinOne comes up about 3 pages in, as per usual, but I didn't find my personal site (also per usual, it doesn't come up on most sites, which is fine by me).
So, I'm curious. Was someone so bored they went through god knows how many pages of hits on their own name and found my site, and was then compelled to write? Did she have some special search that found me? Or is this some elaborate scheme to get traffic for a new search site?
And what does it say about my level of jaded-ness that I instantly thought it was some bizarre scam?
