Sign him up for some nasty spam email lists... 
Katchoo was hit too:

I have gotten one and responded telling him to buy it from shrapnel that I could not afford to send him one. No sense in being rude.
Besides I can always add him to my ignor list if I need too. The thing is if he is emailing a bunch of us, how did he get all of our emails?
Oh well, it could just be some kid who wants to have the game and does not want to pirate it.

It is 99.9% likely that it is a would-be pirate, not a kid...
Getting emails is easy. They can be gotten off of this forum or PBW.

Re: Has anybody gotten an Email like this, asking you to "send SE4gold" to the sender?
I like the suggestion to sign him up for spam lists. A good way to do this is by posting to Usenet with his email address. You can even do this 'honestly' by posting questions to various games or admin.* Groups asking for advice about his request and including the full email and headers (erm, with your OWN email removed to preserve your own privacy from the spammers..  Or if you're really evil you could post _AS_ him and do something nasty to get him in additional trouble. Address 'harvesters' will then pick up the address and add it to lots of spam lists at once. This is much more efficient than going out a manually filling in forms. |

Hrmm... asking for it via E-mail... how silly. SE4 has been out long enough that you can easily find it on various P2P networks, as much as I disagree with that it is still a fact.

In my research on this issue, I have yet to find SE4G on any P2P network.
