A friend of mine got a suspicious e-mail which she forwarded to me. A quick search lead me to the conclusion that this is an old scam.

Here is part of the e-mail she got (with her email address removed): Thanks, Mark ====================================================================================== ----- Original Message ----- From: <awareness@private> To: "emailaddress" Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2003 1:07 PM Subject: Submission re: "emailaddress" > > *Do not reply to this email; it was automatically generated by our website. > > Someone who knows you just submitted a Word-of-Mouth Connection about you at our website, WordofMouthConnection.com.
