I could count on one hand (or maybe 1.5 hands or so) the number of things I've ever used this e.mail address for. I've never been a member of DreamStar. Do you guys think this is the result of a virus doohickey or something like that?

There's no way that the PO of DSM wrote that Katie....compare it to this email I got today:

I got this email too! It came to my AOL account though, I'm not in DSM with AOL because the mails quit coming...had to use a different address! That's how I knew it was fake. Well...beside the fact that there was no paid link! Delete, Delete, Delete..just like the one the other day that was supposingly a private message from this forum but ended up taking you to a site with viruses on it. Wish there was some way to stop these people!

I just really wish I knew who it was and how they got my address, or if it was the result of a virus or something and it was random or like that.

I got it too kg

at an address I use for search engine signups and surf programs

I am not, nor have I ever been a member of dreamstar.

Yup, pretty annoying how they manage to skank their way into our mailboxes.

I reported em as spam

I got an e-mail from the person too.It's not dreamstarmail.It's a yahoo e-mail adress from the uk.I reported him to the site he was advertising.

This email is coming from the owner of ArcticMail who is Polish.

I just received a similar one addressed to the unique email address I used to sign up to Arctic Mail a while back. Looks like when you cancel your account he is keeping your email address

The headers show that the sender has created a couple of accounts using the dreamstarmail prefix as below:
