Whitelist Spam

This was a rather sneaky spam, it attempts to make you believe you have been added to the sender's email whitelist. It really doesn't look like spam at all. Since I have been rather lazy lately on the chongqing front, it was suspicious that I got added to anyone's whitelist though. I haven't sent any emails recently.

I, the sender of this message, have explicit activated the option in All-in-One SECRETMAKER to inform you with this @WL notification email about the following:


My emails are managed by the Spam Fighter from All-in-One SECRETMAKER. Your email address has been added to my Spam Fighter White List. Adding your address to the White List ensures that I will always receive email you send to me.

A bit of Googling for nicholas@seaton.biz quickly told me my suspicions were right.
