I get 'someone you know fancies you, contact our dating service to find out who' all the time. Either its a blindingly obvious scam, or 'someone' is being very persistent.

I've been getting this message to my hotmail account (3 of them all on the 30th of August at 13:08, 13:08 and 13:10):
Someone from Pictari wants you to be in our online community!
Check out Pictari.com, it doesn't take long.
See you soon,
Pictari
Is this a scam? Don't think I'll be joining somehow (if someone does want me to join then they can ask me themselves). -

Haha, well i say its a scam, but i've never actually phoned it back...try if you want - it might be genuine, you could be really pissing someone off who is actually trying to contact you.
Most likely to be a scam though. -
