Scam Artists At Work!!!
Surprised they did not ask for SS and bank acct. numbers!!!

Notice how they always manage to leave a threat at the end of the message. It is surprising how many people get taken in by this crap BUT poor grammar and spelling are always a good sign of a scam.

3. How many people these days can spot bad spelling and grammar?
DU is like MENSA when it comes to internet spelling and grammar and I see plenty of mistakes here too..
