This person got my e-mail when another member posted about a possibly scam and I e-mailed him just to see what he would say. I won't put the name on here but if your getting e-mail scams and would like to know the name PM me.

| In the first e-mail he sent me (when we were trying to figure out if it was a scam) he spoke/typed perfect english. When I e-mailed him I reminded him of that. |

This is the same one that I got today- from Jasonpuppies@yahoo.com wanting me to help out since I am a breeder. I did email him back and let him know that I reported it to Yahoo and hoped that he ended up in Jail. I have never responded to any of those sites. It just made me mad- when I opened up theposting and saw this garbage. Wnalegria | |

| I did not receive the letter BUT, on Hoaxbusters there is a sample of the Nigerian letter with variations of it. This sounds like one of those variations. |
