I feel the OP likely may have been duped by an automated message that was setup to send during status issues or Tweets to a company's customer support representatives. I've sent some Tweets to customer support before (threatening to leave) that were "loved" by a competitor within seconds.
I hope the OP does realize that. Perhaps it's just the thought to put out a bot that scans twitter and sends such automated emails? The bot may take active effort to script, so there is at least some "hustling" going on.
It wasn't, I emailed him back right away and we ended up exchanging multiple emails in a very brief period of time. Either that or chat bots are smarter than most humans these days.
I'm really used to getting those bot emails by now, the personal greeting (left out of my post for brevity), speed of getting back to me, and conversation I had with the fellow after made it fairly clear it wasn't a mass spammed message.
Nope, I ended up exchanging a few emails with the guy about this strategy - it was not a bot. I removed identifying info to shorten the emails but it was quite obviously not a mass email.

Or the initial email was sent by a bot, but the follow-up was human?
