So, I had decided to give Canada guy some more time, to see if my opinion would change... I was starting to perhaps become a little interested, so I went ahead, and gave him my email address. He sends me an email, blah blah blah, I think you're interesting, blah blah blah, and then the message goes to this:
By the way... I'm unsure which email program you're using with your comcast account, but allow me to recommend you on downloading this incredible & lovely email program called Incredimail. It has plenty of features: backgrounds, letters, ecards, sounds, animations, skins and etc and is free to use. It doesn't have any spywares or adwares nor viruses! You can also purchase it's Premium version (costs $ 29 for lifetime!). I have saved many websites associated with Incredimail where you can download lots of great backgrounds, letters, ecards and skins. To get this program, simply go to: http://www.incredimail.com/english/index.asp ; When you're in the home page, simply click on Download at the top of the screen (on the right side). To purchase the Premium version, simply click on Buy (in the top right side of the home page) and it will take you to a secure page where your privacy is guaranteed!
Given you're interested in this program and have it downloaded & installed, I'll email you the other links associated with Incredimail. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Then more blah blah blah, questions to get to know me, blah blah blah...
He spammed me, didn't he? And the bad thing is, I gave him one of my real email addresses, not the yahoo. Well, I might just have to give all the important people a new email, and delete this one off of my account. This really pisses me. My stupidity is what really pisses me. That's it. I'm sticking to Ireland guy. He may not answer emails very frequently, but at least he doesn't spam me.
Edited to add: And Buggy would love this... The email? comes across as being from "Precious Moments".

This is too funny! I post something about thinking I've been spammed in email, and get 3 spammer comments in just a few minutes after posting it.
OMG! This is too funny! Maybe he found your blog, too?
Geez, I'm sorry arkie, that really sucks. I wonder what he gets out of spamming you, though?
What a bummer.
*smooch*
How perfect is that?
Well, don't talk to that butthead again!!!
*sigh* The bad part is, that trusting, gullible side of me wonders if maybe he's just truly trying to be helpful? *shakes head*
You don't have to change your email. Just block his address. Mark it as spam and he won't be able to email you again.
Quel irony.
Quel moron.
I say blast him.
I say mark him as spam, too.
And it is pretty damn funny that you post about spam and receive even more.
Poor Arkie *HUG* LMAO at all the spam responses. What the heck is up with spamming blogs!! Is nothing sacred anymore?
Holy carp...a perspective date spams you...how hilarious...I am sorry I should not *giggle* but really how lame it that guy?!
Was the other stuff he was writing you actually personal, or was it like these spammers who say "Hey, I love your blog it's real great!" I think you should write him back and say "What's up with the Incredimail commercial? Did you just spam me?" and see what he says. *grin*
I wonder if there's a bot that looks for the word spam and that's how we get spammed. I found the perfect defense against spammers in my blog, delete it *evil* grin.
After reading "spamming" all the time I started to substitute "sperming" for it. You may now call me either Beavis or Butthead.
Sorry Arkie about the guy. Sounds like a spermer to me.
Oh geez, arkie. That sucks large.
What a piece of work that guy is. He wouldn't have been good for you anyway, since he confused "its" with "it's".
And I thought the first 3 posts were some of us joking too. :-)
LMAO at the three spams on your spam post. Too funny.
Anywho ---- canada guy is scum. You're too good for him.
*smooch*
He's probably just a sham Canadian anyway.
Actually, you're right, Coco. His story is he was born in Russia, grew up in Great Britian, and moved to Canada because that was always his dream place to live.
LMAO @ spermer, Zombie!
Jen, our emails through the site had been normal, get-to-know-you, type conversations. It wasn't until I gave him my email addy so he could email me directly, that he turned spammer, oops, spermer, on me!
Thanks to all of y'all for the kind words. I don't mind you laughing about it, because it really is kind of funny.
*smooches* to everyone!
Block him!
*LAUGH*
His email was neither precious , nor a moment.
He crossed the line between charm and creep.
Don't be discourged, there are nice guys out there.
