Idiots trying to scam you out of Stardock serial numbers

September 21, 2001 12:12:08 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
just received the following laughable msg... be on the lookout :


From: James Bradly
Date: Fri Sep 21, 2001 11:11:43 AM US/Eastern
To: jtfolden@erinet.com
Subject: Stardock Updated Email

To Mr. John Folden,
Stardock has recently sent you an email with your
serial number and product download links. We have
recently also updated this page. We are not sure if
it will work with all email servers. Please copy the
entire message sent to you and paste it on a message
that you will send back to us. The return address is
stardockstaff@yahoo.com All questions can also be
asked at this address. You have been chosen for this
email because you are a member and have created a
skin. We would like to give you free Stardock
software if you would reply to this message and have
your home or work address with it.

Thank you,
James Bradly
Executive Staff

I dunno. Looks pretty legit to me. Now i'd be suspicious if it said something like:

Deer Mr Foldem,
StarDuck hass unfortunitly lost the napkin on witch we keep the track of our customer's cereal numbers. If you wood be so kind as to email us back your cereal number so that we can store it on our new napkin we wood be much appreceated. This help us better serve you in the future. As way of apology for the inconviense, your name will be entered in a drawing to win free Starduck softwares like NexStart.

Thank You,
Thurston Howell III
