While it is possible that I've registered somewhere using the name Christopher Blair (although that is not my usual 'Fake ID'), I would most certainly not have used my real e-mail address for it. Very very weird.
 
Well, one of the following is going on:

1 - Those &#%! spam messages.
2 - "Bait" posted by a hacker.
3 - Someone cares about you having a freshy, smooth skin.

Either way, I would not click on that link, if I were you.:D
 
I'd probably agree with that. Although seeing Blair's name in there makes me wonder, if spamming and such is so bad now, how worse would it be in an place as big as Confed. Oy! I don't honestly think I could take all that without my e-mail account blowing up. :)
 
The scary thing is, if you had an AOHell email, stopping the spam messages might cave it in on itself. You can't have an AOHell email account and not expect to have 90 spam messages waiting for you when you first get online.

If you get online.

Of course it's spam, and of course I didn't click the link or replied to the mail.
I get spam all the time. The weird part about this one is how they got my real e-mail address associated with the name Christopher Blair.
 
Yeah, cloudy with a chance of meatballs did rock.

Oddly enough, I was just discussing it with my brother the other day -- what *exactly* is the moral? That if life gets too tough you should give up?

I'm sure there's some way of connecting the two email addresses to the same person.

Dad gets plenty of junk mail from English university based addresses, and a day or two after, I get the same ones. It's possible that the mail tracks through my cousin's address, get's sent to Dad, then to me.
