Hi TheSandpit,
Welcome to Eater! Most members here speak and read English so a Danish posting is kind of problematic unless TheDane is around. In addition, I would ask you to post a header IF the scammer isn't using gmail. You should remove your own information, like your email address from the header.
Finally, if we can verify this is a scam email. it might be a good idea to post the scammer's email address.
Read the Stickies and feel free to stay a while.

Dear Capone
Thanks for your reply, the name and email in the header is the scammers. I got it on my hotmail. The name in the email is one of my sur names that I share with 216006 others in Denmark.
I am sure he will prefer to scam in English as his Danish isn't that good. I am sorry if I did not post it right! |

Are you saying that TheDane really is Danish and his username isn't a failed attempt at Scandinavian humour. |

I got the same mail a few weeks ago - yes I'm Danish too - tried to answer back in Danish only to get a 'please reply in English'. I insisted that I didn't speak any other language - who need any thing else than Danish - so he tried scamming me using Google translate it only lasted a few days until he dropped me.
Quite fun as long as it lasted, might try him using a different mail. |

Have a look at our forum rules and guidelines. We do not promote, nor condone illegal activities here. We might tell a little fib here and, well, everywhere, but well, isn't the scammer doing the same? We're not trying to steal their money, though. |

^ There's a few Danish members and I don't think they've had any trouble with the authorities. Any LEO's would consided this, which is illegal? Asking a sweaty scammer to hold up a sign saying 'I can't believe its not butter' or actually scamming? Trust me its not illegal. |

@father moleman, i don't live in Denmark, the law is shariah, and a new rule regarding respect for all people just came out. I totally agree it should be legal and they have it coming, but I can't take the risk as it is now. |

Keep your head down (I would be doing much the same in that country or any like it as well)! I would suggest a VPN as well. |
