    A florist I know got one of these scam e-mails too. My websites only been up a couple of months and I’ve already had 4 of these, the first one here I got twice.

    Bringing these horrible scams to peoples’ attention is an excellent idea. I think I’ve had every one of these over the past few weeks!

    I was just about to notify you of the top one as well which I have had – time wasters!

    Hi folks! I’m a legitimate events planner in eastern Canada and I have recently received an e-mail inquiry from the infamous Dr. Melvin Pritchard. Thank god for this site cuz I’ve spent a week going to my colleagues, “I think this is sketchy – what do you think?”. This saves me any further correspondence with “Dr. Pritchard”. Best to all of you!

    We received the same email a couple days ago – total nonsense!
