Default Free Pasta

Did anyone else get an email regarding free pasta from barilla?
I REALLY want to answer this but I fear it is someone spamming me. BTW they stated they got my info from cheftalk. Below I have copied the email. My flags went up when they said I was an influential member....I don't think I am that influential...LOL

This is the message:

Hello! My name is Maria and IÂ’m contacting you as a representative of
Barilla pasta. Because you are an influential member of Chef Talk,
youÂ’ve been chosen to try a free sample of the new Barilla PLUS.

WeÂ’re excited to introduce you to our new pasta line. Barilla PLUS is
a new more nutritious alternative to traditional pasta. It is made with
multigrains, is a good source of fiber, protein and heart healthy
omega-3 ― and it tastes great!

We are hoping that once youÂ’ve tried your free sample of Barilla PLUS
Penne youÂ’ll help spread the word about its many nutritional benefits
and great taste.

To receive your free Barilla PLUS sample please write me back
(maria@barilla-usa.com) with your name and address — your information
will not be shared with anyone.

We must have your mailing information at least one week prior to the
ship date. Our first ship date is June 30, 2005.

A few weeks after you receive your sample of Barilla PLUS Penne, we
will send you a follow-up email that will include a link to an additional
Barilla PLUS coupon.

Thanks for your time. We look forward to hearing from you and hope you
enjoy Barilla PLUS.

Maria
Barilla PLUS Representative

Hey Frizbee and anyone else. I got the same PM and being the suspicious type as well I checked with Barilla. It is in fact legit. Here is the reply I received when I e-mailed the company:
Quote:
Thank you for contacting Barilla with your inquiry. We apologize for the delay in answering your question. The email you received is from a representative of Barilla. We hope you will enjoy trying our latest product PLUS and look forward to your response.
So there you have it. Free pasta
