Has anyone else gotten emails like this?

I'm a writer assigned to a story on autograph collecting for Bankrate
(http://www.bankrate.com). I'm looking for a private individual who can talk
about collecting autographs for a quick email or phone interview.

Would you be able to do this? I am on a very short deadline.

Links to some of my work at Bankrate are below:

Has anyone else gotten anything like this? If so, did you contact her, I'm not sure whether or not it's a good idea....

theres no way Id call that number, if you choose to contact her, Id email her from a alternate email address like a yahoo or hotmail account. Id just ignore it........

Look at the site. No site like that would want a story on autograph collecting. Joel posted a topic like this. I told him that and he deleted it. He got the same message but not her name email or #!

Yes I got that exact e-mail from her.

Go to: http://www.bankrate.com It's clearly a spam site.

I looked at the site before I posted and it looked like spam to me as well. I got two emails though, that one (with no subject) and another one appologizing for not including a subject the first time. I think I'm just going to delete it. Thanks for your help guys
