This is probably the most bizarre email you will receive today β but stay with it! I have since found out of at least 3 other women who he has contacted. Asking each of us to put ourselves in a potentially dangerous position. Rest assured that none of us have. I have since been sent two further pictures from your blog which he is passing off as his own. I wanted to inform you that this is being done β I am happy to go into further detail should you wish.
Now, I get a lot of weird emails, and I usually delete this stuff immediately. The number of results that pop up are staggering. But when I opened it, I found myself staring blankly at the email for a long time.
These are the thoughts that rushed through my head:. I reread the email. It looked like a pretty classic phishing scheme. No reference to my site, reference to a BDSM site which seemed a superfluous detail, used only to get me to worry , as well as an attachment ready to unleash god-knows-what onto my computer. I was about to delete the email immediately and report it to Google but one thing stopped me.
And so, at the bottom of the message, I could see the preview image. It was of Rand. That gave me pause. And freaked me out.
I copied some of the text of the email and pasted it into Google. No results. Ditto when I did a search for the email address. Whoever had sent the email was either totally sincere, or it was a phishing scam catered exactly to me. I suspect that he took the photos straight off the site, or possibly off of Flickr directly. I figured that would be that. I told Rand what was going on. He was pretty convinced that it was phishing, but he was freaked out by the possibility that his image was being used, particularly in manner that targeted women.
