Default please help-new information needed



HI:

I am a student and am interested in contributing to a body of
knowledge "needed" in the area of your group's expertise.

Hello all!

Following your last lot of great advice to me I've been looking forward to
being able to return the favour, and this is an excellent opportunity,

Don't send this person an email. This looks to me like it is either an
attempt to get lots and lots of valid email addresses to sell to a spammer,
or a kind of attack on the person who owns that email address, so that
he/she starts to get so much junk email that he/she can't use that account.

If they were a real student they would respond with a academic email address
or web address. At the very least they would tell you at which university
they are carrying out their research.

A search of 'gellmangroup.com" on google (his email address in the headers)
reveals information about a 'global internet marketing company" i.e. a
company which spams users of the internet. You will also find references to
this company in the news.admin.net-abuse.sightings, where people post spam
to warn others.

Hope this is useful and not too many people have sent their email addresses
to this bloke.
