MessageTitle Yet another scammer at work...
 
We try but they keep coming. Our system detects and blocks thousands of fraudulent inquiries/offers each month but these are persistent thieves doing what thieves do. New message below. It got past our "fraud detector" and around 80 emails were sent out. It should be pretty obvious to anyone that its a pathetic scam:
