[Click to enlarge]I'm fairly sure this is a routine phishing scam to glean valid edresses into responding, so I won't directly. My guess is the account referenced is being spoofed. My point in posting this here is to let those of you who may be inclined to reply with a counter-threat know that will probably only get you on a mailing list you'll wish you weren't on.
That said, "Tick Tock," you total cowardly stool sample, bring it on. Right.
In the mean time, just to validate my claim to self defense should I ever get my hands on said creep, I will, of course, be forwarding this to the police, along with the header information:
