New scams!
This isn’t new at all. On the off chance you didn’t see it, look at the bottom of the message. That will be a giveaway on just about anything fake you could receive.
Glad you picked up right away it was a scam and reported the account.
And even thought it’s an old scam and been discussed in many threads, I’m glad you posted. I prefer that people err on the side of caution and overwarn about scams, as opposed to being hesitant. I don’t think we can “cry wolf” about this; far better that people who are new to the forums learn about it.
