Do like another poster did and write back showing interest. Play games and lead them on, then post the communications here.

Germans don't make those kind of grammatical mistakes.

Why don't you scam them back with a refundable plain ticket on your name Smile.

I keep getting that too. Another one, from the same guy (name at least) invited me to apply for an English teaching position at a Nigerian hospital.

It was great fun doing the interview and delaying my decision. I stopped messing around with him when he asked me to wire money for visa costs.....
