The idea of this email is to find people who are currently being scammed, it is sent out to many people in bulk in the hope of finding their next victim.

You will notice they are asking for all kinds of information which, if this were legitimate they wouldn’t need to be asking you.

The scammers would like you to stop paying or communicating with your current scammer and begin to be scammed by them instead.
