Mr. Harley Turner is using the following e-mail account:

This is obviously and likely a SPAM e-mail.

However, I would like to know, if you have any information about these kind of e-mail messages.

I have posted this e-mail in my @Gmail SPAM box, including data of whoever is the sender in my contact account, together with a {BLOCK SENDER}.

Best regards,
