I have had emails from 'him' but it is a totally forged address.
I have had about 15 different addresses too. One particularly 'clever'
on is from a name that looks french canadian, and the text content has
been changed to look as if it came from Canada. These guys are clever.
... and they have increased in size to 160k, and I have now had about
