I've had a couple similar to that, and can only assume that there is some kind of scam related to them.
But, No, I never replied to find out. If genuine, they would have written again. |

Maybe I am blind or just have not paid attention but do you have an email address showing in your profile????
Strange.

I don't see my email address in my profile. Interesting. Do you have it registered anywhere else?
On a sidenote, I didn't realize the profile page shows how many people have visted your profile and the IDs of recent visitors.

No, my profile doesn't include my email address, so how the connection was made is rather curious.

Look at recent visitors. I have one person who has no posts made..do you? We should see if the name is the same.....
I'm curious now... Edited to say the name I don't recongnize is Thomasguy....no posts on the forumn. Anybody else have visitors to their profiles that don't have posts? Not saying we need to go on a witch hunt but maybe we can find a common name or two.

I get spam like that but no mention of yarisworld in them. Gmail is really good and this ends straight up in my spam box without me reading them.

why all the fuss? It's just a daring lady wanting to get to know you. IMO, you should at least reply and see where it goes from there
