There probably was never an original sender, or any email to this
person at all. Here's my guess for how this happened:

Some Power Diet Plus person spammed this list in January, and a Google
search for said product puts one of the mailing list archive pages
right up near the top. Against my better judgment, I checked the
couple of links from that spam and from some other AOL complaint that
went here a few days ago, and if they're not the victims of an
outright scam, it's certainly a poorly-run business -- plenty of space
on their form for your shipping and billing information, but no email
address or other contact info for them anywhere.

And given that the hosting company's in Beijing, and that the URL used
in the January spam doesn't exist anymore, that's not much of a
route. The page was copied from someplace at certifiednatural.org, who
appear to be based out of Kansas. Hopefully they can help this person
out, and I've already referred them that way.
