I have deja vu...

Anyway, yeah, it sounds like a scam that has been forwarded automatically to me.

His account says he hasn't been on here since December. Just asked him on Twitter.

It is easy to put in a fake return address on e-mails.

Right now something dodgy is happening. And ist not April Fools because yesterday i recieved a text saying that my mate is having money problems so has moved country.
Weird considering I saw him from far away the day before and now Ive phoned him and he hasnt answered.
