Don't email them at all - as soon as you do they'll know that you're email address is valid and being used. It'll never end. Never, ever reply to these emails.

LOL -

I got one the other day - it actually had the date, time and location (actually a club 20 miles away from me) on it. I read it 2 x - these guys are getting better with the English - so that on the first quick scan it looked somewhat real - typo were the kind you could make typing on a phone instead of a keyboard.

I called the venue and politely asked them if they had an event booked on the date requested - they responded that they did not and that I should double check the location - I indicated that I did that and was just confirming it was a scam - they laughed and said - yep they get those too...

Mine went into the trash bin.

A too detailed request equals SCAM.

Funny. Actually I got fed up with some of the scam emails I was getting that I decided to open a new email address, trytoripyouoff@...., and started responding. I couldn't believe it when they would respond back to try and continue the scam. So of course I had to email back that I couldn't believe they hadn't died yet and that I really need them to send the money before they are buried or burned.
