Default Strange email

I just received an email from Brad Snyder today. He is asking me how to make his Rubicon go faster in reverse. I have no idea who this is and how he got my email. In the email, it has no clue as to where it came from, it just has his email address. Should I be worried about this? Has anybody else received this type of email? I thought maybe it was someone on here but I do not have any private messages.

either that, or open up word and type a long letter, highlight the text, select one of the wingdings settings for fonts, and gibberish will appear.........that'll get'em!

The thing is I am worried that it is some kind of scam and if I reply to it, something bad will happen. Maybe I am being a little to paranoid. I would still like to know how he got my email address.

I don't think anything bad will happen, as long as you don't download anything.

Being a mod here, I get all kinds of emails. I usually just delete them. Yes, it could be someone looking for help, but how hard is it to ask in the forums?

Even if you don't know how to start a new thread, you can always say that in a reply to another one.
