- TedDoesntTalk 5y agoI think that’s relative to your experience. To me it is spam and I would not even finish reading it, let alone grace it with a reply.

- cgriswald 5y agoIsn’t that kind of the point? Your experience isn’t the relevant experience. Treating this email as spam is the obvious thing to do to you, but it is demonstrably not the case for others, the author included. Others don’t have access to your experiences.
- walrus01 5y agoIn the modern scam era we live in, it somehow seems more legit because it mentions something in a specific article of legal code, and isn't demanding payment of your IRS taxes in iTunes gift cards.
- the_af 5y agoThe start with some Russian woman saying "hello, I'm Masha from..." triggers all sort of mental spam filters. Adding random legal codes from who knows where reminds me of "according to the CANSPAM law 134/38 this cannot be considered spam" that every spam mail used to have. Seriously, just a few lines in this mail raises all sorts of flags.
