Re: Has anybody gotten an Email like this, asking you to "send SE4gold" to the sender?

We should not assume the worst until more info is known. Then again this could be just a prank to see what we will do. I for one think it best to let the subject die.

That is fairly naive... it is one of the most common tactics employed by would-be pirates... Sure it is naive and hopefully that guy will think so too if he is a pirate and give me just enough rope to hang his ***. Think about it, how do you catch a criminal, by hunting them down, or tricking them into coming to you. If this guy is a pirate, and I am not saying he is, although he does seem to fit the bill here, then I would rather have as much info about him as I can get than non at all. That way I can use the info against him. So yes, I hope he thinks I am naive as well.
If he is not a pirate, then I hope he can someday afford to "buy" a copy of the game.
UPDATE:
This is an email I received from David D. today. I sincerely hope that this shows you all that to suspect the worst is not always the case.

Thank you for your help and advice it is appreciated. If you were to come
across acopy i certainly would not expect you to do it out of pocket with
nothing in return and i did not mean to seem as if i was undermining the
company for until you gave me the wbsite i had not been able to find it to
buy. Anyway i have much to consider and thank you again.

Not all people are pirates, narfarious, or evil, some are just simply looking for a good game to play.
