eh, I clicked it, just said "cannot load".

My computer is such a strange mix of ancient technology and odd software that it never gets viruses anymore. Very Happy

it was probably a loaded link with a redirect and 'gtabber'

some web browsers let you see what the link is before you click it. This is a safe example:

Modok, I went from XP to windows 7 because my wife thought seeing XP is no longer supported, all kinds of bad things would happen. I think we lost more moving from one computer to the other, it was worse then what she was worried about.

She probably just wants help paying the heir tax on a cache of westphalias
and 21 & 23 windows, to get them released from impound in Lesotho, so
they can be loaded onto a C-17 and dropped @ Long Beach, won't you
be her export agent?
WTH is wrong with you?

Yes, people use my site name in spam emails now, it has happened a few times before.
See Fake Emails from TheSamba.com

The link you posted above doesn't work here because it has a , at the end.
Other than that, you copied the raw text, there is nothing bad that will happen.

The link in your email may have been actually sent to go somewhere else to try and infect you with something. Maybe, maybe not. You can usually hover your mouse over it to see the real link. If your computer gave you a warning then it probably had something bad attached.

The emails I have seen of this kind are usually just spam.
I get them all the time with and without web site names in them.

Google the phrase
"I'm pleased to write you after reading your profile"
(with quotes)
if you want to see this same message all over the internet, with and without various domain names inside the text.

Google link:
https://www.google.com/search?btnG=1&pws=0&...gws_rd=ssl

Also:
Your email is in your signature on this site so the scammers may have grabbed it to spam you and know it came from thesamba.com

Thanks, I banned that email just in case but it does not seem to have been used here.

I checked that web site and it looks like a real site so I guess just spam.
