Scam Email: Sharon Miller

Here is a scammer that is going to strong the potential victim along and not even mention the key components (use of their own third-party shipper and overpaying the amount and asking the potential victim to "forward" the difference to the shipper via Western Union. Remember - the payment will be faked and there is no shipper) of the scam until the victim is fully engaged and feeling like they will do anything to help the "sale" go through.

Fortunately, the artist who forwarded this to me, caught on before the scammer even got to the meat of their scam. Notice the characteristic period after their name at the end of emails. they seems very characteristic of the software they must use to send out hundreds of thousands of these and template parts to be "personal".
