Nigerian wedding scam?
I just received one of the most creative 419 style spams I think I’ve ever received. Given the nature of my occupation I actually thought it might be real for the first sentence or so. If I were Catholic and lived in England, I may well have fallen for it!

Funny thing…I received at least 3 of these. Just as you said, I would have fallen for it. I took it as far as I could to actually see what they were looking for and then ended it. It’s crazy. People really need to be aware of this.
