Here is the newest email I just received today by a scammer. Have never spoken to or emailed with this person before so I gather this person got my email from the original idiot I dealt with before unless it is the same person using yet another alias. The email and copied and pasted below:

nannygirl11, scammers buy email addresses, they do use generators to send emails out to thousands of potential sources of money (VICTIMS) at a time. Scammers occasionally will go "back to the well" and hit up someone they have already scammed with a new or different modality.

Some times checkint the IP will tell you if it is the same computer the scams are sent from.
