Hey all,

I just got spammed from Helge Viker; he's trying to pawn Lego sets onto me.  I
have never had business with him before.  In his e-mail, he says,

"This mail is going out to all I have had contact with over the past half
year.  Many of you have bought from me already, but some mail addresses has
sneaked into my lego mail account, through mails from others.  I intend to
send out a mail like this monthly or bimonthly. So, if do not want to get
this kind of mail from me, just let me know, and I will remove you from my
mailing list immediately."

So I suppose that my e-mail address *SNEAKED* into his "mail account".  Yes,
that's right, my e-mail address is intelligent, prehensile, and has a mood of
its own.  And I have to ask him to remove my name from his list.

Furthermore, he's doing said business through a HOTMAIL account.  That scores
points.  He strikes me as not too bright and particularly rude, and he's going
into my killfile.

Helge, get a clue.  Jeez.


Well I'm not one for me too posts but ME TOO.  I got this E-mail to and it is
fairly obvious you more than likely got the E-mails from either LUGNET (Most
Likely) or Ebay.  Seeing I don't use RTL he would not have seen my E-mail their
and while I have participated in a Couple of Ebay auctions my visibility their
has been minimal.

Anyways I agree Jeremy,  Get a Clue.

(...) Well-- an interesting note on this... I got email from him on my OTHER email account, NOT on the one I usually post to LUGNET from... In fact, I don't think the LUGNET system even 'knows' about that email address... It never went out on RTL (...) (25 years ago, 5-May-00, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
