This is typical spam that you might recieve from personals ads. First email is a little bait to get you to think there might be a real person then a second one comes to deliver a link to advertize a website. In this case, the second email gives you some instant messanger screen names to bait you into the IM world where a bot or even a live peroson in a sweat shop will try to con you. We reccomend that you stay away from these types of websites as they are mostly scamms to sucker you in and then steal your money. They prey on desperate, horny and lonely men.
