Sorry it took so long for me to respond. Since the Sept 11th situation, our email system has been really bogged down and so many people have been asking about the popular fun video chat service.

Now, that is just obnoxious. I never wrote to this person about any video chat (I've never written to ANYONE about videochat), but they did a great job of making it look like they were replying to me about something.

The subject of the message was "reply from Jennifer Fredericks", which could have been better... I was pretty sure it was spam even before I opened it, but those first couple lines were enough to cause a moment of doubt.

PassThisOn.com sent it to me. I really hate that site... I've never regretted giving my email address to anyone as much as I regret giving it to them.
