It's a dating scam from Nigeria or Ghana. They are everywhere on the internet, groups, forums, what have you. Delete and forget it.

I almost feel like emailing these idiots and playing along....then waiting for them to ask for money and then acting all cool and being like, yes.....then later after a couple of emails when they ask to wire money i will say "I will only wire you money western union my sweety" such and such, I'd then get there routing details and act like Im gonna totally do it, I would totally email and say "I sent your money......... wow this is great to meet you, I feel a connection" on and on...

I can picture in my mind some idiot on the other side of the planet going down to the Western union and arguing with the clerk thinking I actually sent some money!!!!!!

Yeah, I got one from "Esther" immediatly after joining the nation.
If you follow the link in the email to your email settings on the nation you can opt to "block" mail from those sources. It was one of the first things I learned to do on the website.
I have also gotten a generous increase in the spam filter activity on my email account since joining. No biggie for me, but if you dont run a good filter on your account it can get very annoying.

They have people that do exactly that kind of thing. It's called Scam Baiting.
