It always cracks me up that none of these scammers can really write a proper English sentence. You have to be pretty naive to fall for a scammer of this sophistication.

No, I don't believe so.
I suggest just using caution when solicited by anyone in this fashion...and do not try and seek out a source of the solicitation, nor toy with the solicitor in an attempt to ferret out the individual.
It will not work and is just unwise.

This is a copy of the e-mail I received which immediately sounded like a scam, I sent Dave Borden a copy and he confirmed my suspicions. And now seeing that it's a cut and past from the e-mail he sent Bill S.

Is this scam spam actually illegal, in a formal sense, or does money have to change hands for it to become illegal, fraud I guess would the crime? Theft of goods and services? Federal crime as it involves the internet? How are these things generally handled by "who ever" those authorities might be?
