    Yep.

    Friday was the right gag to go for.

    But I want to waste their time if I can...

    I don't "get" the M.S.E. Pert bit.

    (I'm thick).

    That would be the name of the person sending the email (Me)

    Mathew Stephen Eric Pert [maybe?]

    I would have signed off with a name like 'Roger Butt-Cheeks'

    Still think 'Friday' was the best gag (to sign off with)

    Most likely to be a real email in error - some people get confused between .co.uk and .com for instance. Pretty crap scam template if it is one.

    Is the email address she sent the message to the same one that your website is registered with, or a contact email given on the website?

    Is your website name similar to any other website that sells things? e.g. are you Amaxon.co.uk ?
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?
