it is a bit weird isn't it??? have you had a simlare massage by [user name removed by moderator]?

The stuff I put in bold blue creeps me out. This is definately spam. Flag it. If this user has posted more messages like this we should contact the Scratch Team because the email probably is a virus/scam.

It is never a good idea to email unknown users. Never share your private info with anyone you don't know really well.

Edit: Ah, here we go. Its a "romance scam".

A romance scam is a confidence trick involving feigned romantic intentions towards a victim, gaining their affection, and then using that goodwill to commit fraud.
