I love scams...
i actually collect nigerian scams (what a strange little hobby) that seem to always be in one of my email junk boxes.
I find it crazy that anyone could fall for them...but they do or they wouldn't keep sending them i guess.

Do ya THINK? Remember, this is an open DB, and anyone can join. They don't have to post comments in order to use the PM feature.
I would report this to Simon, if I were you, just so he is aware, and if he wishes, he can take action (deletion).

I just received the exact same email and it was sent to my email addy.
I normally don't open spam emails but occasionally I do for the heck for it and low and behold, it's exactly the same email!!!!
