I had the very same scammer try with me as well back in December 2017. I found this site via Google but wanted to share as this was very similar with the wording. A Michael Smith (yeah, he's pretty lazy and can't even come up with an original alias lol) contacted me about a job. Apparently he found me on Mandy.com and I was pretty convinced but still skeptical until I did a search of the first couple of paragraphs. Anyway, here's the email:
