Answer:
SPAM, pure unadulterated SPAM and something you really should never have opened in the first place. The first rule of email, is to NEVER, EVER open mail from an unknown source. If you continue doing this, one day you're going to open a "can of worms", containing a serious virus or something and you're computer will cost hundreds of dollars to fix. I know curiosity can get the best of us at times, but there's nothing worth finding in any of those emails. All they are is people trying to get something from you, each and every one! This IQ Test has been around for years and it's one of the biggest scams on line. I can only hope you'll heed this advice, because if anything happens it's on you now. you've been warned. EDIT - And you don't think a "cam girl" is sending you spam? If not, it's only because you don't understand what SPAM is, it's unasked or unwanted advertisements from people you don't know. Those cam girls get a fee for every person that clicks on their site, so if she responded to you, it was only to get you to come back and hit her site again. The EXACT definition OF spam!
