Strange email from someone on this forum....

Anyone else receive an email to the effect of:
Your friend, the Ultra **** DORO aka www.Dorokusai.com, thinks you spend too much time online and thinks it's time that you get laid.

So he's letting you know that I can fix that for you!

So, if you want me to come over and take care of that....etc....links to spam/virus website

then says:
(you don't have to apply through the website because your friend already signed you in!)

and

By confirming, you also allow me to send you updates, don't worry, you can unsubscribe, blah blah blah.


What is this crap? I don't think it was you Mark, but someone from this forum is obviously using your name to sign my email up for this stupid site.

Only a select few have my gmail account info so it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

Not too cool either way. I'll figure it out.

    Do NOT click the link, especially at work.

    That's funny.

    That's offensive to many people at many levels.

    You don't deserve this crap, Doro doesn't deserve this crap.

    Are you sure the name / link to dorokusai isn't just a coincidence?
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I don't have my own domain and I don't recall that email. The website isn't what I usually surf but I've seen worse.

    I get those from time to time. I also get e-mails from "myself" since it's so easy for spammers to spoof any e-mail address. I hate spam.

    This was a no spam account. I don't use it to register for any forums, i don't use it for anything but giving it to a friend to send me a document or similiar. The gmail account isn't registered to anything. The spam was non existant in this account until today which is why I was using it on my blackberry.

    I got it as well. I use my gmail account for certian things only and let the spam go to another account. Now I am getting other spam mails as well. I deleted it right away so hopefully it will go away.

    Doro told me those pictures were for his private use only, and now this. . .?

    Didn't even get my good side!

    Seriously: Spam generator, coincidence.

    Why is Doro's name coming up though? If everyone is getting it why is it Doro's name?

    It has to be someone from this forum.

    Must resist clicking the link!!

    I hope you get it figured out, what a PITA to have to deal with. Spammers should be sent to a foreign country to serve some sort of jail sentence. They are useless scavengers that serve no good purpose.

    There were/are numerous virus that were actually installed at the factory when built. From what I read, this is common.
    Check the websight of the company that built the thing and I'll bet there's a link to clean it up.
