[Leica] Phishing?

[pklein at 2alpha.net (Peter Klein)]

Thanks, Nathan.  Interestingly, the person's mail address *is* indeed at a 
calendar company, or at least, they have a Web site with a catalog and 
lots of calendar graphics. Including some pretty landscapes, and a lot of 
women in various stages of semi-dress.  The English version of their site 
has similar grammatical nuances to the email.

The person sending me the email has been a member of photo.net for under a 
month, and has no record of any activity.

If the request were legit, I would think they would have referenced 
specific pictures and referred to me by name.  I think this is a troll of 
photo.net for cheap or "involuntarily free" content.  Or a check scam as 
Chris mentioned.

So I can either ignore the email, or respond and ask them specifically 
which of my photos they are interested in. My inclination is to ignore 
them, as the potential reward pales before the likely hassle.

If anybody wants to persue their site, it's in Polish, Russian and 
English, at ateko dot pl
