Probably a romance scam.

Spammers usually have a hotlink in their emails to you that forward you to some kind of dating/humping website.

Bait it hard! Vlads tend to have long scripts (record script I heard of was 12 cycles!) So don't waste too much time creating a story Smile

Don't respond unless you want to start getting heaps of SPAM.

Headers show USA.

If they had come back a Senegal or Togo I'd have said this was going to be one of those romance / orphan with million crossover scams that seem to be very popular there.

I remember getting something of that sort in my hotmail account long ago.

Because it loaded slowly and the interface was no good, I had not been using it and so it was inactive. For some days after I started using it again it was relatively free of spam.

Then something of this sort popped into my inbox and I sent a reply saying nicely that he must have had the wrong person.

Then that account started getting loads of spam.

Around that time somebody here gave me a gmail invite (it was those days) and I gladly changed over to gmail.
