I got an email from Garette35 and it looks simular to a Nigerian scam.
I know it wasnt sent by him, anyone else who has done a trade or purchase with him get a simular email?
Garette if your reading this, may want to change your passwords.

Nothing here, but then again, I've never communicated directly with him.
Sometimes people's email accounts get phished, and spam (now with viruses!) gets sent out.

If you get ahold of him, recommend this:
Download, install, and run a full scan with MalwareBytes Anti-Malware (http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php). It's free. Everyone should have it, and use it in my opinion.
Also, if he does not have an Antivirus or Firewall program, urge him to go to Comodo.com and get their Free Internet Security (http://www.comodo.com/home/internet-security/free-internet-security.php) package. This company is one of the Big-Three internet security certificate companies (that HTTPS:// you see), that say Thanks by developing and providing free computer defense tools. It's worth it if you don't have anything else. When it's installed, it will ask if you want to pay for their support service (not necessary or obligated), if you want to use their Secure DNS services (decline it unless you want it), and the usual stuff about newsletters and whatnot.
And, LONG passwords are better than just a short complex password. Anything is better than "fluffybunny".
Whatever you do, do not shock Obama or the Monkey for a free IPAD. It's just not worth it, man.
