I just received one of the most creative 419 style spams I think I’ve ever received. Given the nature of my occupation I actually thought it might be real for the first sentence or so. If I were Catholic and lived in England, I may well have fallen for it!

Funny thing…I received at least 3 of these. Just as you said, I would have fallen for it. I took it as far as I could to actually see what they were looking for and then ended it. It’s crazy. People really need to be aware of this.
Yes I received the wedding booking including what kind of cake, an evangelical protestant wedding blessing for 50 people for a Shawn Lennon and Rita Smith. I even received a cheque from Marigold Health Foods Ltd in the UK for over 4000 pounds when I only asked for 1000 eu deposit. Luckily my bank mislaid the cheque and so it never got into the account. I was then asked to book the deposit on his credit card and also to include the price of the private plane and pay the company from my account. That was when I became even more suspicious and did more research. Luckily no money was lost.
