Anyone know the intent or origin of these emails? I have to assume they are a scam, because all of them ask for the solar panels and the Grundfos pump. And to the best of my knowledge, ALL of the items they are asking for are easily obtained, but why me?

Me too

I have been receiving messages like or the same as this for a few weeks also.  I say scam, no doubt here.



origin unknown, probably bought or stole contact info from some random site visited.

same or similar

now & then for what seems like years now. sorta mysterious, seems like solar spam, but the point eludes me.



one of my regulars has been from an email address containing "sunflower" and kind of chirpy upbeat language.



spam ... at least its not that hard to hit delete, even if you have to do it often
