Did anyone get this disguised valentine e-card from acrushonyou.com?

First of all , don't go to the site, pop-under ads ....

Dear xxxx@xxx.com ( my email address ),

Someone has sent you a valentine!

To find out who click here:
http://www.acrushonyou.com

I got it and my wife got it ( and now we did not send it to each other, and no we have no secret lovers AFAIK... )

Pretty sophisticated spam on a day like this, and as I said they have pop-under ads and regular 468*60 banners. Requires some kind of registration as well.

Yeah, I've gotten spam disguised as some sort of greeting card before, not lately though...

i had that a while back, it is a scam. They have you register with there affiliates so they earn some $'s and keep you in suspence (sp)

It had me suckered, i signed up filled out 5 forms before realising it was a scame! Playing on peoples weaknesses is low beyond belief. :angry:

Even spammers won't send me a valentine... :bawling:

Is that the one where you have to 'guess' who sent the crush to you by entering email addresses into a form, and then they send a crush from you to all the emails you give them?

Yes.

Oh, although I never registered I never figured that is how they spread it. Gotta say they are pretty smart...

You mean someone doesn't really have a crush on me? :bawling:

Actually, I didn't get that one, but awhile ago, no where near valentine's day I got an email from a similar service.

I wonder now if it was spam or if someone was actually using their service.

I guess it's one of them businesses where you might actually get away with spamming people.

I used to get that one quite often. It's a pretty sneaky way of doing it and almost had me convinced it was a legit e-mail.

Seems to have dropped off lately though
