yep ..has scam all over it, ( I see I'm a few days behind on posts )

just the tone, pacing and flavor.
( there's a form on the wall in every internet cafe in Nigeria ..
just like there's a form for 'the perfect generic she-done-me-wrong
country song' ......tells what to plug in where. )

you can tell by the way it unfolds..it's classic scamereeze.
they should get a new formula going.

I'd either do a 'no contact' at all , or insist on a phone conversation.
best move though ..
delete everything and forget all about this one.
