A common ploy to defeat spam filters.

It is SPAM that may be scam as well... the random text is meant to fool SPAM filters to think it's a legit Email...

The low prices on the products could indicate a scam similar to phone lad scams... or dealing with counterfeit software...

Thanks everyone. I read the "testimonials" on that site. It's an amicable but dodgy attempt to write in casual english.

I am telling people about your site. Both products and service are worth propagation. Michael Hogan

I have already told a medical doctor about your software and your customer service quality. Thanks again, Stu Kopelman

A good attempt boys, but not enough to fool our eyes.

I am recieving these e-mails too and have visited the sites. They are different locations, but all have the same graphics and layout.

They are a rip-off. The testimonials are hilarious. Really bad use of language and they all seem to state 'THE SOFTWARE DID NOT LOAD, IT WAS CORRUPTED NOR DID I HAVE ANY FINANCIAL COMEBACK BUT THEY ARE A GREAT OLD BUNCH OF LADS AND I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM" They are trying to give you the idea that the software has flaws, no support and no updates yet they are a great company.

I have reported most of mine.

Ps The poetry in most of the mail is awful too!!!
