Hi, new user here. 
Due to the nature of my work, I receive many email scam or phishing attempts directed at businesses, which I promptly report at sites like phishtank. I now see that you also have a section here for that, so I'll make sure to add them here as well in the future.
But it's the first time I receive a romance scam attempt via e-mail, so I sought a place to share this one and after a quick search stumbled upon your site. Congrats on the remarkable work you're doing here
So, I received an email that quite obviously looks like a romance scam initiator. Note the 2 different email addresses. One of them actually uses the domain of boxer Mark Ginley, but you end up replying to the other one.
Yeah, right. The casual stranger emails some random guy looking for romance. Seems legit...

My female friend offered me to send the letter and know each other closer! I hope you wouldn't be against of it.
Name of mine is Kenia! I'm 21 years and I'm studying in university.
Here I'm looking forward to find a serious guy just to talk, to go to cafe, maybe travel through world or even build serious relations.
I hope my female friend was right and that u really the male that I am interested in finding!
