Hi,

This lady was giving her very expensive cat for free. Everything made sense. I gave her my adress so she could 'drop her off'.
Now i looked up the first sentence she send and put it in google. And i see the exact same message for other cats. this woman thought it was a scam so asked a forum.
Now.. she/he knows my name. my e-mail and my home adress.... What do i do????!!
please help me :( It's my parents house..

Please don't worry it is hardly likely that "she" is going to turn up at your door, if you have anymore emails or other contact just ignore them.

If possible please post the email and headers to this thread, after taking out your details it will lead anyone googling the text to this site

If you wish you can email me at

Not to be confused with a CAT scan :)

It's fairly likely that the scammer is in Cameroon and has no way to get to your house. If you post the email with headers, we can probably tell for sure.

The French was definitely written by an African (whether in Sudan or Cameroon or Côte d'Ivoire I don't know, but if you post the headers we should be able to tell) who speaks French (it's not English translated by computer) but hasn't learned to spell right and is using a keyboard layout that doesn't have accents. Replacing all apostrophes with spaces is probably not a keyboard problem, but caused by a broken character encoding on Windows (the Mac equivalent results in apostrophes turning into superscript numbers).

What's the cat doing in tropical Africa if she doesn't like heat?

Please post the headers, at least in case someone googles the email address. See Gateway's sig for header instructions.
