    I had the strangest experience this morning. A woman contacted me via MSN, calling me 'sweetie' and saying she'll fly to Hobart to see me again, and that she's been looking for me for 11 years. She sent a photo, I have no idea who she is or how she knows me. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog

    Beware of things like this. Does she know what kind of car you drive?

      Are you sure it wasn't a ploy to send you a virus? Just this morning at my work, there was a virus getting around via a GIF file through Yahoo IM. Afterwards it started spreading itself via e-mail and Yahoo IM under that person's ID.

      Well, she plainly knew me at some point, she knew personal details about my past. I can't imagine someone sitting on MSN spreading a virus by hand, with that much work going into it. She sent me a jpg anyhow. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog

        Are you sure that's what she looked like when you knew her? Some people make pretty dramatic changes through the years... :laugh:

        Well, that's true. Either way, I have only vague ideas of where we could have met. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog

          The thing is, people trying to find someone for sex will obviously want to meet in private. In fact, I have no intention of meeting this lady unless my wife is present, and we're in a public place like a cafe. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog

                Well, the thing is, I've had two girlfriends in my life, and I married both. So it's not like this could be an old girlfriend.

                                      Wow, sounds like she's gone to a lot of effort too to track down your MSN address. Perhaps it's time to restore your old repressed memory backups ;)

                                        Yeah, i've been getting a lot of MSN spam the last few days. None of 'em bothered to find out where i lived, though. Lucky.

                                          I had the strangest experience this morning. A woman contacted me via MSN, calling me 'sweetie' and saying she'll fly to Hobart to see me again, and that she's been looking for me for 11 years. She sent a photo, I have no idea who she is or how she knows me. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog
