I've recieved an unsolicited email from some guy called Mark in Canada who
is trying to get me to accept a plug on a something which I am assuming is
called 'bi-tron'. The email is below (all the irrelevant bits of header
removed):

From bi-***@shaw.ca Thu Jun 1 07:00:44 2006
Return-Path: <bi-***@shaw.ca>
Date: Wed, 31 May 2006 13:58:49 -0600 (MDT)
Date-warning: Date header was inserted by l-daemon
From: Mark <bi-***@shaw.ca>
Subject: Not Sure If you are interested.
To: ***@lios.apana.org.au
Message-id: <"18161.238868.54084681 c900"@lios.apana.org.au>
I got your email address from a newsgroup I was visiting and thought with your interest
in vehicles, this may be something worth your time to look at, no you have not been
added to some huge mailing list,. Since you don't know me my name is Mark and, I
would like permission to send you a short email about a product that has increased
my fuel economy by 20%. If you are not interested, just don't respond to this email and
since I have not saved your email address, you will not hear from me again.
Hope you are having a great day;
Mark T.

Note that there is no indication of a website, but by simple deducation I
tried "http://www.bi-tron.ca" and got some really strange flash-based
website which looks like the makings of a multi-level marketting scheme for
automotive fluid products. It's really 'blingy' but the site gives you
almost nothing about the products from a technical perspective and in fact
most of the site seems to be designed to make you feel 'funky' and want to
market their stuff. 8-) I don't. lol
I can't find any direct link between the email I received and the website,
but does anyone know more about this? The fact that the email I received was
unsolicited and gave no real information about what is being pushed makes it
look like a scam. Even more so if it's really connected with the website
I've mentioned.
