I already deleted them both as spam. This one is much more convincing than the last one I got. It almost looks official with the working links included. |

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened. |

Awen Losg User ID: 821936 United States 02/06/2010 07:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hahaha! No way you'd have to wonder if that was bullshit, E.T.! I have not received anything similar, yet, but I'll sure be on the lookout for it. Those free e-mail services don't bother to send messages to people about deleting dead accounts. The scammers must think there are a lot of idiots around, even more than we all think there are. |
