SEND HER AS MANY EMAILS AS WE CAN.

This was my reply:

"I can’t decide who is more retarded, you or the people who actually fall for this shit.

I DON’T WANT TO SEE ANOTHER ONE OF THESE EMAILS. If I do then my cousin in the FBI will be getting a phone call."

i’d start by sending them your social security number for identity verification and a bank account number for them to transfer money to.

Also, never respond to emails. Its a huge SPAM tatic that is common to verify working emails. People send out millions of emails a day. When people view them and click “unsubscribe” links or respond with bullshit, they know the addresses are active and added to new databases.
