We got an email to one domain that has flowers in the name. I actually think the email was ok but he kept mention credit card all the time. When someone say credit card all the time and do not say the name of the city and just city it looks like spam to me.

delivering within your city,  The wedding planner is preparing for the

wedding venue in your city and i am supposed to reserve for the

flowers that will be use on the day. I will inform you with the

delivery location before the pick up date when the venue is secured.

I am going to make the payment through credit card, because i am

Did you see the space in front of New York? That looks like a copy and paste work to me or just an automated script sending something back. We then asked him to order something small from us first to confirm his ID and Name but he never got back after that. We do not know really, what he tried to defraud here maybe he wanted us to send flowers to his country in the Middle East and sending us a fake payment or something and selling the flowers to someone. This is clearly some sort of Nigerian scam but not sure what they wanted.

Some university in the USA can give you a diploma in most subjects. They have a real website and a read address but most people never attend any classes. I am not sure i will call it a scam since it is a credited university but i would not brag about it if i graduated there. Then you have the spammers that pretend they are this kind of university, they will just send you a photocopy made copy and no background check. You might have to pay over 2000 USD for a photo shop copy, there is a reason why they use spam and not advertise in local newspapers.
