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.

bouquets, table arrangements, church flowers, candles and tea lights

and any other flowers that will be good for the wedding.

kindly get back to me with your rates and prices of the flowers and

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.

With all the free phone numbers and cell phone numbers you can get now the scam people on the internet getting more and more advanced. Before you could only reply to an email in Nigeria but now you can even call them and talk with them. They still lack the missing thing that is called email and website. Fedex would never send you an email from a free email and the Yahoo email is wrong it says HK not UK. It is this small things that make people do not call or write to them, well expect me off course.

It looks like the free email service sify.com is used for spam by the Nigerian spammers more then ever. They have moved from Yahoo and starting sending email from sify.com. Most of the online scammers use their own domain name with proper server.

This email is just another part of their scam to get your bank and other information, you will get no loan from them just problems and maybe a empty bank account.
