Patt,
Thank goodness you weren't suckered into this. I counted once and I get over 70 scam mails per week. I don't mean spam, I really mean scam. Many are nearly identical to this one you received. Don't let them fool you. They are not even from UK but are routing their scam spam through that region (you'll notice the bad grammar, obviously english is not their native language).
Other tip offs to scam mail are -
There seems to be a complete lack of interest in the work itself. The author is only interested in payment and shipping details.
There is usually a sense of urgency or certain circumstance where they need the item shipped right away (they are in the process of moving, they have a baby due in 2 weeks - yeah, right)
They always offer to have their shipper contact you to arrange details.
These are just a few - the list goes on. I have seen so many of these I am just sick to death of them. I am just sorry that there are trusting people out there that fall for these theives and liar's hateful tactics.
