Do you know why they are sending these? Are they just looking for email addies for a list, or are they some sort of con artist?
I've bene getting these, and I guess that I just don't understand what their motive is.
hi Peggy, i've also had lots of similar emails based around huge orders for printing flyers -- (i thought this might be because i've got a couple of rave flyer sites, so could easily be found via searches using query terms including "flyers") -- but, whatever... as they seem to originate from Nigeria, presumably they're a serious attempt to scam -- anyway i replied to this one, cos the name sounded so ludicrous to my English ears, and got a reply asking for my phone number, so presumably the intention is identity theft
