There's a handful of links up on MArooned to folks kind enough to sponsor me or groups I believe in and want to support. None of the, to the best of my knowledge, sell pumps of any type. I find it hard to imagine that any company out there that sells "Magnetic Drive Utility Pumps" has an e-mail address even vaguely similar to the one I use for this blog. As far as I can gather, the post I did in the late winter reminding folks to check their sump pumps must have come up on a Google search for "pump".
Anyone else get this one, or am I just that special?
That is all.

Dood, you're so special you should change your name to Ed!
I've gotten these sorts of messages before - and always presumed it was some sort of scam to suck you into giving out an account number or something like that.
I always figured it would be fun to respond with a realistic-looking proposal, just to see what happens - but never had the time for that sort of thing.
Me, too. It's probably trolling for replies, so they know that there's a person getting the email. Then the spam really starts.
Of course, the fact that they didn't get a bounce from the mailer daemon tells them something, but an actual reply makes the email address much more (financially) valuable to them. Spammers pay more for confirmed active email addresses.
I've had a Swiss (I think...) plastic molding company after G&C's business for a few months now. Not sure what kind of plastic things I'd need molded, but if there was a need, my brother-in-law works for a more local company doing that I'd be more ethically inclined to seek out anyway.
You have it all wrong "Magnetic Drive Utility Pumps" are shoes.
