Hey dudes,

I’m an editor for a personal finance site called MainStreet.com, we’ve got a recent “Scam Busting” investigative report up on our site that I thought 419 might enjoy.

You can check it out here - http://mainstreet.com/article/moneyinvesting/news/undercover-scam-patrol-hong-kong-con-part-iii , we’re calling it the Hong Kong Con.

Cheers and enjoy

Maybe you should see if you can check the sender's IP.
It's unlikely that it really traces to HK, but there are scammers in HK, that much is beyond doubt.

I'm actually still hoping to get one for a wild goose-chase around town.

that was funny. Too bad, looks like you've spooked him a little. Just approach him in a few days from a different account, see what you get. say something like "I'm interested in your offer" and start all over again. Twisted Evil
