e-mail from H's BULK mail:
We have found the perfect girl for you, she fits the description you submitted of your ideal woman!
Allow us to introduce you to He----....
He---- is a 27 year old who was born in --,USA.
She loves sports,swimming and traveling... and get this, she claims she hates shopping!
This girl is beautiful,smart and self-supporting.
She says she wants a man who has "a brain a sense of humor, and a 24 hour sex drive".
He---- lives about a 90 minute frive from you, but she is definitely worth the trip.
She is waiting for you to email her directly...
When you click on "responses" for her pictures and email.
_http://------.....
Sincerely.
Staff at Dater's Dream
So should I be concerned with this or do you think it's just bulk mail?

At first I though "no, it's bulk mail" then I read where they know how far she lives from him. How would they know that if he hadn't told them?

see if he is registered there. You can also install spyware on his computer instead of going through all this. Go to www.iopus.com and buy the home version. It will show you everthing he types, his passwords, websites, chat conversations, etc.

Does he spend a lot of time on the computer? Have you checked the computer history or cookie file?
You could just ask him.
One of my email logon's sounds more male than female and every now & then I get a "perfect girl" notice or even "I'm moving to (my city) can we get together." So sometimes spam has a lot of info.

Like I said He gets daily porn mail. Most of it is just like sender:Jessica subject:See girls @#$# black !@##$.
This one was different as it said "just like the descripton you submitted"
I can't ask him, it is his personal e-mail and I am not suposed to have the password. not that he ever said that but it's like an unwritten rule.

I get daily porn email on one of my email accounts...I never check it for this reason. I think I must have submitted my email addy to someplace. And I KNOW it was NOT a Porn site <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> I think someone sold my email addy...I get at least 20/day on that email addy! BUT, yes, i would be concerned about this email you got! JMO

I have a yahoo mail account that gets two to three of these a day. I have never subscribed to this service, yet it comes every day. I believe the proximity issue is due to they get the info from yahoo which has your/his zip code.
Be very careful with the spyware software. I say this because "sometimes" the software slows the operation of the computer. Depending how frequently your husband uses the machine, he may notice something has changed. If this is the only thing that leads you to believe there may be something wrong, I would wait. He may check the machine and find out that you've been spying and "boom" trust is gone.
Hope this helps.

I wouldn't worry too much if I were you. This sounds like bulk/bullcr@p stuff to me. If it addressed him by his first name, that would be a tip off... (unless he uses his real name online, then it's back to meaning nothing)
Seriously, spam folk write anything to get you to click on their adds. Dollars to doughnuts if you clicked that 'responses' link you'd be sent to a porn site or maybe a sign up page.
