Thought I would post this in case anyone else gets a similar email.

Three weeks ago I received an URGENT email from a person whose email address had an .au on the end of it wanting me to ship a bunch of wigits to Canada. The wording was very similar to the Nigeria fraud emails everyone gets.

I explained that our wigits are only one of a kinds (looked like they picked the first things on the first page they got to).

Got return email offering to give me their credit card number if I could tell them how much Canadian customs tax might be. Replied I had no idea, they should order on line (like all the rest of our international customers).

Today I get another email asking for 15 each of 3 very inexpensive items to be sent to Canada immediately.

If this doesn't remind me of the Nigerian order scams! Obviously, I politely told this person: nothing doing, get lost. Anyone else out there get something like this lately?
