Yes, it's a bot.
I disabled the ability to email from members with less than 1 post. Thanks for telling me about this.

other members have gotten this same e-mail via Mystic Wish....
I personally did not recieve this e-mail from Daniel Dump, but it was brought to my attention by quite a few members, that I know irl.
and it's more like a fraud bot... because what they're really looking for is for you to give them all your money... so they can run off with it.... Don't tell him any thing, infact you my want to report him to what ever internet server you get your e-mails at. This guy in particular is obviously new at this, because he actually gave everyone he sent this e-mail to all the information needed to get his Yahoo account deleted and prevent him from making anymore yahoo accounts.
I have already reported him to yahoo, explaining what he's doing. and how he's doing it. If you have yahoo, I would still recommend reporting him.... The more people reporting this to them, the more likely they'll do something about it.

Just to let you know, there's a golden rule when it comes to e-mails you recieve form people you don't know.
African Princes=Don't respond
This is an old scam that's already been exposed. Also, what kind of an African is named "Daniel Dumpe" anyway?
Mrs. Gramarye - November 7, 2008 02:42 AM (GMT)
seriously...... and what kinda african prince has an e-mail with the year at the end of it?

a better thing to do with these guys is say you'll need some confirmation and then ask them to take a picture of them doing something REALLY stupid and send it back
then don't reply when they send it and laugh at what you made a scammer do
It's evil but they kind of call it upon themselves, don't they?
Mrs. Gramarye - November 9, 2008 08:35 PM (GMT)
fun.... but you run the risk of them sending you a virus.....
