I have gotten several emails from this person. The first contact occurred in August of this year. More recently, they went so far as to send a cashier's check that the bank said wasn't legitimate. The person whose account that check was coming from was contacted regarding this issue. Since this scammer sent the check, I have received several emails asking why I haven't responded. I'm hoping that this person will be stopped soon, but if they are out of the country there might not be much that can be done or not quickly anyway. Below are some of the emails that I have received.
