Hee hee, OK, we won't pursue the matter to spare your blushes. But the offender could PM me in complete confidence - I'm just too nosey for my own good :shock:
I still live in the vain hope that it might have been genuine! - Although there is one other piece of damning evidence that has come to right - which I shall be PM'ing Fred about! - And if it is not him, then it is just TOO big a coincidence!

HONEST!
It was not ME!
But I do think that it was either a fabulous gag or just a series of coincidences which has the conspiracy theorists all a dither!
Fred
See, all you doubting Thomas'es who thought it was Fred winding me up, after a helpful PM which explained why the e-mail may not have worked, I have now been able to send an e-mail to my new German pen-friend. i eagerly await a response, and shall invite him on to the forum in due course! So it WAS genuine after all.

Only read the first half dozen posts and it suddenly clicked - this is simply the German version of the common spam going around. I knew my sad techie background would be useful one day...just didn't think it would be on here !
I don't have one to post the contents of as I tend to delete them straight off but they are of the "Hello again {excuse} but I've now got a site. Please vist me at {site} or call {premium rate number}".
Always thought it was strange when I got a "hello again" message from Venuzuela once when I can't even spell it, never mind have been there !
You can't reply to them {as you've found} to stop them being traced/banned etc and some of the websites contain trojan viruses etc. It's the sort of mail that has now been made illegal in a recent law change but I still get them too !
Sorry to burst the bubble of possibility and all that but you're best forewarned !!
Carpathian, loves a goth girls private parts but also knows his saaad techie stuff when needed too !
I nearly didn't post what I'd spotted as to the fun you were having with this but as some of them can be harmful (be it virus or cost) thought I'd better spill the beans.
"Spill the beans" {sigh}
I just can't write a message without resorting to panto season silliness at the mo.....
Carpathian
Oh, I'm very glad you did spill your beans - Kat is going to be soooooooooooooooo gutted when he reads this thread :doh:
Banned ?
Me ??
Little ol' Carpathian ???
{over the top blubbing, wailing and sniffling}
Ok, I'll go........
{shuffles very slowly towards the door}
....no, don't try and stop me......
Well I was stupid enough to marry you my darling!!
Steady with the insults Fred it is :boxing: day after all.
Love

:haha: :haha: I have my fingers crossed that it was a genuine offer - I would love to see the pics :grin:
Consider yourself the butt of every single joke on this forum for the rest of the year :twisted:
