So, they are basically trying to find people who fell for the trick the first time, and trick them again! 
To turn the other cheek? I got a cheek for them but it's not the one they expect!

Heh, if I would respond (which is just "this email is active! spam me more!"), it'd be with Revelation 21v8, and "Ye fraudsters shall your place in the lake of fire."
To be honest, if someone loses money from these scams, they probably shouldn't handle money anyway.

It is a bit like these inexpendable "malware-removers" that you must install when your comp is infected.

I received an email from a pokerstars asking me to send them a scan of my passport, driving licence, household utility bills etc to verify my identity. upon reading the plain text email, it seemed like some kind of scam so I deleted it immediately, as who in their right mind is going to divulge such sensitive info I thought, especially as ive had an account with them for 8 years. As it happens it was a genuine request and the upshot of my refusal to comply meant they blocked my account and have banned me from the site lol, citing it as a 'Legal Requirement' so I cashed out my huge $72 balance. No-ones ive talked to about this would send anyone such sensitive stuff over the net, especially in an unsecured email, but plenty must be doing so as I don't see the site closing or changing its policy - BTW no other poker site has requested this and i've not been accused of any dodgy dealings such as money laundering - anyone any thoughts?

From their FAQ[^] it appears this is an Isle of Man requirement. Other sites may be governed by other nations.
Of course, I also would have cashed out instead of sending them copies of such documents.

It is yet another spoof of a viral publicity about strangers kissing for the first time.
I'd rather be phishing!

There was a classic art exhibit years ago of two people slapping each other, can't remember what it was (or where, or when, and a quick google revealed nothing) but I distinctly remember seeing a video of it related to some weird exploration of different forms of art. Well, whatever.

I find the sound of strangers slapping each other oddly satisfying... Please don't judge me 
It's an OO world.

I won't judge you, so long as you don't judge me for the bits where one of the participants gets punched in the face

On a serious note, this is a real sociological subject : slapping someone you first met is apparently more intimate a move towards him/her as kissing them.

Seems they're pretty good at managing their anger - I'll have to admit that I would probably get a wee bit miffed if somebody started to slap me around ...
I say probably, because I haven't all that much experience in that regard ...

I've been slapped some between the USMC and two ex-wives.
