 		Weird IM
I got a strange IM this morning. Here's what is said:

itpcliqueriSPLATplanet-uk.com
/It has already started
moving, Sym : FDKE
FREDERICKS ENTERTAINMENT
Once its found it'll be late

Fredericks Entertainment seems to be a real company, planet-uk.com looks a little suspicious. An email to itpcliqueriSPLATplanet-uk.com bounced. Any thoughts?

 		oooookaaaaay
Got this yesterday. Best I can tell it came from a mobile MSN user. I have no connection with the press group, although i did glance at their website after i received it; nor do i know the other recipient of it.

It's dated as being sent before it arrived, but that just may be the time zone difference.

 		I got a similar one also mentioning "CHVC", it's spam. CHVC is a penny stock, they're trying to run the price of the stock up.

They're not really recommending it, it's a "pump and dump" scheme.

Well, just plugging things into the translator the subject is decimal for "11.01.07". Haven't found anything with the rest of it yet, though. I'll keep playing around with it.

ETA: The rest of it looks exactly like the "Message Digest / Check Sum" information that comes up on this translator when you use it.

 		"11-1-07" makes sense. Broken Kites has used some alternative characters to make that date on a later post.
Maybe that is a release date for an album?

 		something in another language... (russian?)
got a comment posted in my LJ, wondering if anyone can translate, or if this is really just spam (I'd guess the latter, but it's good to check)

Quote:

Привет.

Если нужно, то есть сертификаты ещё.
Стучацо в личную почту на Вебмани.

Это не спам. Не пишите на мой WMID жалобы в арбитраж Вебмани

Looks like spam. Here's a rough translation from a site I found:

Quote:
I sell certificates Вебмани.

Greetings.
I sell personal certificate WebMoney for $99.
Can check up: WMID 322973398779 Redfern
All is pure, not one complaints. It is made on the lost documents. All is lawful.
If it is necessary, that is certificates still.
Стучацо in personal mail on Вебмани.

It not a spam. Do not write on mine WMID the complaint to arbitration Vebmani
