Now here's a new twist. They actually give me the address (in Tucson) where they're willing to leave a perfect stranger alone all day with their 7 year old daughter...

This would be a good one to send to the Tucson Police Department or Child Protective Services, just in case it's real.

I'm screwing around with one of those scumbags right now. Its a straight up Nigerian 419 scam. Everything in the E mail is complete BS. They just want to send a money order/ cashires check and have you forward the "extra" $4,000 to a store for a violin or whatever.
I get a few of those E mails a week. I just got the same one.This guy is gonna be hearing from Luke Warmwater who could really use the $600 and personal toilet !

Jim;
I would very much like to have you forward the original of that scam email to me, as an attachment, or with the headers pasted into the email, so I can track the source.
