It's a scam. These come with different names Joan, Debra, John, Fred, whatever... it's all probably coming from Habib or Mustafa or Quamquat. Just be aware.
Kind regards,

I find it nervy that they ask for discounts on top of being, as Angela so wonderfully puts it, crapweasels.

I once received an email from some lady from africa who stated she became wealthy because her husband was a spy and was rich and his money was left to her. She said she needed my bank account and I would receive some of the money. I was like, man, this sounds like probably a terrorist trying to hide their money in my bank account. either that or trying to clean my account out. Which it was empty anyways. I forwarded the email to america's most wanted, and they said it was a scam.

I do believe that email has been sent to half the world in the past few years. It was about 4 years ago those started. I still to this day receive in my emails.
