Hi there Scambaiters! I must've signed up to the wrong mailing list or something, because I'm currently being flooded with spam. Including this, which made me think lovingly of you guys.

It reeks of scamminess, but I rather think he's failed by not telling me how much money I'm getting, why I need to be a beneficiary, or why he's decided to contact me by email - all that stuff. Idiot. I have seen another version floating about with that information, though.

Anyway, I'm not sure I feel ready to bait scammers, and I've got a lot on my plate at the moment, so if you guys want to go for it, then be my guest. Very Happy

Oh, the email it was sent from is [email protected] . It came in on Hotmail and it won't let me view the header tags unless I get this "Windows Live Mail" nonsense.

Mod edit - email address xxxxx out as it doesn't appear to belong to a scammer - SP

I have edited your post to remove one of the email addies, as I don't believe it belongs to a scammer, despite it apparently showing as being sent from that address.

The person who owns that email addy is from the Netherlands, see the second post down on this translated brass band page link that has an icon with their addy below their post:

This was their original post in Dutch:

Hoi,

Helaas moet ik mij aansluiten bij Leendert. Alhoewel ik gisteren de toeter van zolder heb gehaald om mijn dochter te helpen met haar alt-sax (ook es dus). Ik kan het nog en dat na jaren niet of nauwelijks spelen.

Ik probeer nog steeds een keer jullie te beluisteren. Hopelijk bij het optreden in november.

My apologies. The last thing I'd want to do is hassle an innocent guy - I sought only to provide as much info as I could. I'll be more vigilant next time.
