Been receiving emails from a hubber asking for a date?

   Has anyone else been receiving emails from a female hubber telling you that you are cute and how they want a relationship with you?
   
   Said hubber has strangely enough not written any hubs!
   
   Also how can you tell from my avatar what I look like and does she (if in fact it is a she?) realise that I am also female?
   
   Strange way to either solicit for a sexual relationship or spam. Some strange folks in the world and the profile and email is so flagged!

      The new online scam is sending people money as cyber criminals attempt to "wash" money.  Once it hits your account they ask for it back with any number of excuses.

   I would avoid replying to any unsolicited mails - they are just after your email address.  I was dim enough to reply to an unsolicited mail from an HP member and now get around 8 spam emails a day from the same source.  I will get around to tracking it down at some point.

    What I have noticed is that I have been receiving at least 5 emails per day asking for a reply. The messages go on to say that my profile is very interesting and they find my photo very attractive. I don't reply since when I track the emails, they are usually from overseas, with the exception of one from right around the corner.

       Right from around the corner? Would that be me, Luis?
       
       I've only exchanged emails with a couple of hubbers and I've befriended a few of them via facebook, whether its been my initiative or theirs. But then again... since my real name is not Klara, and that facebook account is only for hubpages, I don't feel harassed in any way. And I think I speak on behalf of the small HP community that communicates via facebook when I say that we interact little, always friendly/respectful chat, reading each other's hubs, and I've never meant any harm to anyone when I've requested to add them to my friends.
       
       If anything, I've always made it a point to let the person know that I've requested their friendship and that there is no pressure. If they want to keep their privacy, that's fine. I never get upset at something like that. I understand.
       
       A few times I've exchanged emails with hubbers, only whenever I feel that whatever I have to tell them doesn't need to be made public, but always in relation to whatever subject they've written about in forums.  But as in the case of Luis or CMHypno, I've never sent or received emails telling people how hot they are and how much I want to be with them. In cyber-HP-language, that would take me at least 13 months. And I've only been here for 12. Next month... well... THAT will be a different story!!!
