The same emails have been sent to me yesterday.

then followed by this after I replied. Thanks for the original post by NY2010resident. I wouldn't have responded anyway but to confirm my suspicion was correct has eased my mind. Thanks for having this site to allow the sammers be known.

Joined to let everyone know about this new viral strain:

Thanks for getting back to me and i am LINDA PEDRO (F), I am 25 yrs
old, I am fun loving person, friendly, clean, caring, and respectful
of others. a non-smoker, don't do drugs, I drink occasionally. I
graduated last year from South Korea at Badewa Women's College in
Seoul, I am single and have no children, I do bible study and
sometimes we do karaoke night with my roommates then. I need to secure
this room for myself before i leave here as I'll be moving in with my
luggage. You seem to be a very interesting person to be with and I
must confess to you that you will enjoy staying with me in the house
because i am an easy going person and i make people happy. I will be
in the state before the end of this Month for the next one year and
during my stay, I will be doing my masters degree.
I was born in Soeul Korea, my dad is from the states but my mum is
from Korea,am presently on research work in Puerto Rico but i am
almost done with that because its part of my perquisite for my masters
In Microbiology. I would have loved to call you but this is a remote
area and calls are kind of hard to go through from here and i don't
want to waste much time. I am really interested in renting from you
and i do really love pets but i don't have any at the moment. I would
have loved to see it but since i am far away then pictures will do
just fine. I will also like you to tell me more about you and if you
have garage or parking space cos I will have my own car to make use of
there as well, pls let me know the total payment of the place and more
over I will send your email to my dad for him to email you later bcos
he will be the one paying the bills but nevertheless, I will like you
to send me your First Name: * Last Name: * Street Address: * City,
State, Zip Code: * Cell Phone Number: * Total Amount :, so my Dad will
issue out the payment for the place as soon as possible, with that
you can hold on the place for me till my arrival down there. I will be
looking forward to your email soonest

That's all for now.

- Stay calm and rock on.
