Hi :) Yes, it seems that way. It's probably best to avoid clicking on that link if you are using Windows! I do like James' attitude but it might be better to use a "disposable" account, or an old one that can be discarded if necessary and maybe that'd be best done by a non-Windows user. Ubuntu seems to already have Qur'an and Bible study programs/apps. There is even a Gnu&Linux distro, Sabily - Sabily is a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu. "It includes Islamic software (prayer times tool, Quran study tool, Hijri calendar etc.) and has a custom design." quoted from Ubuntu package manager. @ James : You don't need to apologise for anything! You haven't been at all offensive or anything imo. Quite the opposite, you are being a star! :) It is not always possible to tell what gender someone is, especially these days and especially using text-only communications. So shrug that off and don't worry. @ Brian : Good to know. Thanks :) For some reason that increases the probability that it's just spam, imo. I dunno which of my biases is at play there. It's just a feeling. The name is very familiar to me but i'm fairly sure there is no real link there - just an odd mix of paranoia and wishful thinking.

I would suspect that his english is next to non-existent and that he has simply written the message he would send to a fellow countryman, and run it through Google translate. And yes, he does appear to be religious, but we have lots of Christian users, including some clerics, in here. Admittedly they don't often go to the extremes of this man's message, but perhaps in his country you are expected to address an unknown/organisation in this manner. Perhaps if someone writes back to him to acknowledge his message, he will not think it necessary to send the message again. (I believe I have seen it twice.) I'll do that when I've finished this. And he's offered us a present in thanks, perhaps not one that many of us will take him up on, but nonetheless one which he thinks is a valuable present.I think it is equivalent to a Nigerian phishing email . . it doesn't matter what fairy story they are promoting . .
