Fake email?

    Looks fake, the grammer is incorrect, yet it is spelled totally correct without shorthand.

    Has anyone else got this email?

    I get at least half a dozen of these every day. They all start 'Hello, I'm a nice girl wanting to talk to you.... blah blah blah'. So definitely fake - courtesy of some email harvester.

    It doesn't seem to be fake email. Why don't you too try sending him a message from a faked email.

    The only reason why i asked is because this is the first email like this which i have got.

    I will just report it as spam, and hope google fixes this. They are annoying.

    These types of emails are used to confirm the email address and also to capture peoples ip addresses.Just dont open them or entertain them.You can judge by reading the fishy subject.
