Does this make me a real belly dancer???

And he's a reverend, too -- must be legit, eh?

Usually I just get the ones that want me to send some money overseas to help some poor family, but this one . . .

<squeals with delight>

I'm just so happy that someone finally wants me to teach his son to dance!

I noted that the email was "to" fatima@fatimasbazaar.com; going to check on that now.

I am so sick of these scams! I especially love the ones where they make you write back and forth a couple of times before they drop the "a check is being send in excess of the amount agreed so you will need to Western Union the extra funds to my event planner, who happens to be out of the country" bomb. Thanks jerk for wasting my time!

Bahwhahahaha...... glad to see you have a sense of humor about it.

Oh, Deborah, I'm sure under your tutelage, John will become a member of the Bellydance Superstars in no time. After all, it is the aspiration of all 18 year-old French boys. Be sure and send off all of your most personal financial information to them straight away! ,r:; ..l;,

Kidding aside, consider yourself lucky to not have gotten these before. I used to find it amusing to read them for their entertainment value, now I'm so tired of them I just hit delete immediately...
