How should I take this MFP message?

That is just really wierd.
makes you wonder about some of the threads tho, asking what type of car you drive, where ate you from, What's your real name or when's your birthday. These I regard as personal questions unless you've become good friends with someone. I would never post those kind of answers in public message boards. Maybe I'm too cautious. Think about it tho. Scammers etc only need a few personal details.
Creepy...made me more wary now.0 -
I wonder if they are related to the Nigerian prince I sent my account numbers to last month. Expecting a big payoff any day now. :happy:
Hey, wait a minute - something's not right - cuz he said I'm the only living relative, what gives?0 -

Wait. You're getting a big payoff? They promised me I was the only one. Dang. I think I might have been had.0 -
If he included an email address, you can post it and the message here: http://thescambuster.co.uk/Submit Scam Email.htm0

agreed. i would report to myfitnesspal so they know it's going on. it's probably against the terms of service or something, and detracting from the usefulness of the site.0

I lost the love of my mom during the year 1994 as a result of a war that was caused through a sale over a guinea fowl.0

Scam. *Yawn* I'm pretty sure I've gotten that one a couple of times over the years, usually to my yahoo email.0

I have to admit I was a bit creeped out when I recieved this message on MFP. I don't quite know how to take it, should I be flattered or offended? I have blocked this person as this is not the type of message I would expect from this site. I have removed the name of the sender. Opinions?
So here it is:
" Hello Madam I am with much pleasure to send you this email. By the way I will for ever stand by to say sorry if you don't expect any email from you. How are you doing with your beloved famioly? I hope Insha Allah you shall for ever Blah Blah Blah....:yawn: :yawn: :yawn: :yawn: :yawn: :yawn: :yawn: :yawn: :yawn: :yawn: :yawn: :yawn:
He could be the one!0 -
I would have stopped reading at Allah (nothing personal, just that's usually what these e-mails are) and deleted it as spam. Don't respond, just delete it.0
-
Would agree to make certain that it's reported on MFP. I would be creeped out too.0
-
Yeah, I get these in my hotmail all the time. Broken english "girls" asking me to be their friends and/or do them and/or marry them.0
