It seems to look like he paid for this service, and it went through his address book where it found my address. But why my address was in there, and why the email had the following Subject line is very strange: Subject: RE: Re: CS>$$$ perpectives (verification) That doesn't look like a legitimate reason for verifying an email address by a legitimate service from someone who doesn't want to talk with me. I remain a bit sceptical. Best Regards, Mike Monett -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
