Below, I have copied an email scam where several different people have attempted to contact me through Active Rain. The last one even called me many times, starting at 5am in the morning, to beg me to participate. I had the Sheriff call him back. But anyway, here is the last letter sent. If you get anything like this, just ignore it. I was wondering if anyone else is getting these?
Here it is:
