Has anyone had this strange email from David Edward(s) today?

Had this.

Looks a bit suspicious as surname on email address states EDWARDS. But it is signed DAVID EDWARD.

Not replied to this directly as yet.

419eater is a great website for reading scambaiting stories, some are hilarious ,things like getting the scammers to post a photo of themselves with a loaf of bread on their heads before the baiter would pay

Dave contacted me (unsolicited) to let me know his account has indeed been hacked.
