Weird Email: "Transaction Receipt from Rob Aagaard for $52.66 (USD)"

Hi Gng


I just got an email from "Auto-Receipt" with the subject "Transaction Receipt from Rob Aagaard for $52.66 (USD)".  The reply to address is "TestFirstName TestLastName [email removed]"  (punctuation redacted in the address here and below)

It is for allegedly for "Goods or Services", and the merchant is listed as :

Rob Aagaard

Bellevue, WA 98004

US

[email removed]

There are no links in the email.  I checked the credit card associated with my DAZ account and there is no activity there nor in my DAZ account.

Is this some sort of scam, or a test gone bad?

    I'm pretty sure it's a bad test of some kind, either that or you have been seelcted for a golden ticket, but I will flag it up.

    I received one as well. It was for a refund on a product return. Never received an email before.

    Wasn't Rob Aagaard that high school intern back in the summer of 06' that disappeared in the server room without a trace?... legend has it that it was during a midnight "demonic deals" sale and that he tested his fate by saying "Spuggles" three times while looking at his reflection in the server housing faceplate.

    From time to time people get receipts emailed to them for "goods and services" from "the other side"... which is apparently in Bellevue, Washington, but none the less is frightening as hell.

    What ever you do... don't render Spuggles for at least 24 hours after receiving that email... 

    Need I remind you that if you rearrange the letters in Rob Aagaard, it spells Aba Raga Rod... must I spell out the sinister implications of that name?

    Thank you, Richard. :)

    According to LinkedIn, it doesn't look like he even works for Daz now. Why would he be sending email to Daz customers? Or why would Daz be sending email in the name of a former employee? Or did I misinterpret the LinkedIn data? It's very strange. I think you are right to question it.

    so many As in that name

    was curious so Googled too

    so many great Danes with it

    no wonder he left, probably going on to become a famous person wink

    Its quite clear... he summoned Spuggles and now his ghost is trapped in the server... it happened all the time in the 90s... it was quite common until they started adding ghost filters to the software... but once you get ghosts or malevolent spirits, that's it... Spuggles himself haunts many people's product libraries... but dare you download or print him?

    I never knew where Spuggles came from. I just found him in my DAZ Studio a while back. But he's kind of cute.

    Oh, for the love of scrod... you had to render him didn't you... and "cute"!?... he's the polygonalincarnate form of the prince of darkness fer crying out loud... and yeah, he's a little cute, but he's also a soul stealing dumpster fire of despair and evil... I clearly said "whatever you do, don't render Spuggles or he'll steal your soul" and you went and did it anyway...  

    Ok, actually, that's what I meant to say... but it was clearly implied by the punctuation and the way my eyebrows were positioned as I wrote that...

    Well, either way, that's it... tell Aba Raga Rod (or Obara Garda*) we said hi... 


    * "Obara Garda" is another anagram of "Rob Aagaard" as well as a transmutational spell to change old socks into weapons of mass destruction... draw your own conclusions on that one too.

    My uncle had a Great Dane, but he named him "Major"... got hit by a car and cause $2k damage to it, but not much damage to the dog though.
