Hello everyone,
It's come to my attention that there is a new e-mail scam going around based around carving. Here is the e-mail that people are getting:

Good Day,

I am pleased to contact you, My name is Blossom Scofield, from Brugge in Belgium. I saw your profile as carving teacher,hence, my purpose of contacting you.

I just mail to confirm if my 16yrs old son (James) can join you in your tutor while he is in US as high school exchange student. It is his desire to be a carver and I so much would love his dreams to come true and I am ready to support him both morally and financially.

I will want you to give me the price of the tutor for 6 months as I will want the tutor to hold either once or twice in a week.Note that my son once had a tutor in April who lost his wife in a car accident and decided to stop teaching in order to take proper care of his family.

Additionally, please give me your address or the address of where you normally teach your students, so that I can have idea of where the lessons will be taking place, as we are presently out of USA, but arrangement have been concluded for him to come to USA.

Awaiting your swift response.

Blossom Scofield

I'd delete the message as soon as you get it! It's an e-mail scam using fake checks!

Hi_Ho...I put a LOT of thought into my "reply" to Blossom....LMBO...
And you think I'M confused about my identity, think of poor "Blossom" - registers as "adamsmith" and signs his emails "Blossom"?...He could use that money, ya know...wink....ROTF
Here's the link to my correspondence as it happened...warning: NOT for those who are easily offended - it's kind of naughty....(E V I L G R I N)

A couple other carvers contacted me privately, and now THEY'RE playing too...Blossom knows he's been found out, tho....he quit playing for now.
