I just recieved an e-mail which apparently was from Tony- the SR boss. The e-mail address was [email protected].

This is the mail that I got:


We have found that your reviews have been copied from other sites but as you have contributed well to the site then no form of action will take place this time, if it happends again then furthur action will be taken.

Tony


Now, I find this rather disturbing as I have not copied any reviews. I also find it rather suspicious that this was posted was rather funny as it seems to have been posted from a different time zone, 2 hours in front in fact.

Now, I doubt that it was Tony who sent that mail (but if it was, this is a complaint because I have never copied a review, I have only done 2 reviews ever, and neither of them where copied, if it was genuine then I would like a reply and the name of the site where you believe I have copied either of my reviews).

But my feeling is that someone else has sent it, I think it was someone from SR who knows my address, possibly (and more than likely) one of my contacts, I think I know who it was but this person is currently off-line, so I'll have to complain to this particular person tomorrow. But this is your warning incase that this mail was not genuine, so you might get pranked yourself.

I think I know who you are thinking is guilty 'ere, Nick.

I think you are suspicious of a certain *cough* MJSwerve *cough*.

I maybe wrong, but that's what I think you think who did this prank.

Shocky.

Ah ha! I now know definatly that it was fake.

I recently sent an e-mail to [email protected] about why Mario Kart had not arrived yet. I then got a reply back from [email protected] saying why the game had not arrived, at the bottom of the e-mail was an advert similar to what is on the bottom of the e-mails sent from hotmail addresses. I can't remember what the advert was and I'm not going to post it in here because I don't want whoever sent me that e-mail sending me more e-mails like that!

So the e-mail address is fake, and I was right in saying that I haven't copied a review. I'll be having words with the accused tomorrow as this person who is currently off-line. *Proving that your innocent is fun!*

:D

I'm doing that now actually

The person who I think it is recieved an e-mail from [email protected] so I think somehow, he might have got an e-mail address with a different domain name.

Special reserve own that domain name, only someone within the company can send an e-mail with that address. Best thing to do is to reply to it and ask them what is going on.

I think I have more reason why the e-mail address is fake.

Do SR's e-mail address begin with capital letters?? The address that it was sent from was [email protected]

Do they start with capital letters? I don't think they do!

I think it best that I not mention the person who I believe is guilty, I will talk to who I believe has done it tomorrow.

This is why I find this highly suspicious, plus I haven't copied either of the reviews I have done. Someone has done this, and I think I know who is guilty!
