Yeah i had that one too and baited him for a bit until he wanted my passport - when he responded, he gave another name (not the one listed in the email) - still, my initial thoughts were the same Smile

I'm thinking you should write back and ask him for his name. Better yet, since he won't give you one, just assign him one.

"Dear Malaysian Man, since you will not offer me your name, I will assign one to you. From now on, when we communicate, I will address you as, Sally McFloosie..."

^^^ great idea. I am sort of partial to Kasma Booty, a famous entertainer who was dubbed the Elizabeth Taylor of Malaysia..... or maybe Hafidzuddin Fazil,

I like that! I'll pretend to not notice the fact that his name is in plain sight and also ignore that when I hit "Reply" the "To" line says:
