URGENT: Don't telephone that guy (was 'affiliation')

[Placebase <jilek@xxxxxxxx>]

This looks like a telephone billing scan to me.
He is hoping everyone will telephone him to complain
about his spam.  If you do, you will probably get
hit by large fees, even though he lists a "toll free"
telephone number.  This is a common scam, where users
get connected to a 'pay-per-call' system via a
seemingly toll free telephone number.

Note one of his fake usernames is "pleasecall".

Hi,

I found your site in webcrawler.  I am looking for websites who are
interested in either getting listed on our website or participating in
co-op programs with us.  We are kind of in a rush to get things going for
the holiday season.

If you have a moment, please give me a call at 877-835-9308 x616.

Thank you for your time.  If this note went to the wrong person
at your company, I am sorry, I don't know which email address is the
correct one.  I will not be re-sending you anything, and you aren't on any
kind of database.

Best Regards,

David Rubright
