Spam on YouSayToo – I say it too

I was invited a few days ago to this service by one of the readers of this site. The service is nothing special in my opinion. The user interface of YouSayToo is quite simple, just like the idea behind the service: ad revenue sharing is not a new thing.

Also, seemingly it’s a weird form of link-exchange between the YouSayToo website and its users’ blog, spiced with a bit of social networking feeling and a messaging system which enables the users to communicate between each other. The problem is, that even if they have no relation whatsoever.

This messaging system on YouSayToo delivered in my inbox the following message (email address removed):

Hello Dear, My name is Carolin.I got your contact today at(www.yousaytoo.com) and i become interested to be your friend please i will like you to contact me through my email ([removed]@yahoo.com) so that we can know each other better i will like to hear from you soonest yours in love Carolin.

There wouldn’t be any kind of problem with this message if I wouldn’t get one like this every second day.

Now there are two possible reasons why do I get these messages:

1. My nickname is extremely appealing for the ladies and each one wants to base a closer relation with me
2. It’s a new form of e-mail address harvesting for the spammer

I think it’s the second option is more viable, what do You think?

As per the spam, take this message and tell me please whether it’s spam or not:
