Not sure if this is the right place to post this.
Got the below email today. Somebody in the UK(Liberia, etc.?) appears to be harvesting email addresses (from here or somewhere) and is sending out typical SCAM emails from an address that mimics North Carolina Woodworker. It appears they are using some (not all) valid North Carolina Woodworker links. He/she doesn't quite "speaky de English" properly, but is better than most of these. Hmmm 15% of $4.8M is . . . . and the promise of a long term business relationship, how can I refuse.
