After one response they've bombarded me over and over begging to no avail, now they have an MTCN number that I'm supposed to lookup to verify it's waiting for me. They also can't decide what last name they really want.

Mod edit, edited to unmask the whole post, masking uses up a lot of system resources, it is to be used sparingly, only names/addresses at most need masking, not whole posts Wink

Hi Jersey Housewife...

If I am correct in thinking Linda is the scammer? (or so she/he says)

Does she have a surname?

No last name, just wondering since there were three almost identical requests sent three different times from the same person to me I'm wondering if it was a mass mailing of some sort.

I never responded to anything they asked for so it's unusual for anyone to keep sending those requests.

Did you check the To: field in the email header? If it says "Undisclosed Recipients" it was a mass-mailing. I guess that would mean you are on three mass-mailing lists?
