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

I just check my mail and some wad was trying to get me to send him SE4G, this is it verbatim:
Quote:
Hello my name is david. I would appreciate u sending me space empires 4. As far as i can see i have nothing to offer you but if you think of something just name it.
His Email is davijan@dawsond4.freeserve.co.uk

any body recognize it? Should I send him an Email with "SE4G" attached *cough virus cough, tell him to **** off, lecture him about the wrongness of piracy or just ignore it?

Sign him up for some nasty spam email lists...

Katchoo was hit too:

I have gotten one and responded telling him to buy it from shrapnel that I could not afford to send him one. No sense in being rude.

Besides I can always add him to my ignor list if I need too. The thing is if he is emailing a bunch of us, how did he get all of our emails?

Oh well, it could just be some kid who wants to have the game and does not want to pirate it.

It is 99.9% likely that it is a would-be pirate, not a kid...

Getting emails is easy. They can be gotten off of this forum or PBW.
