I agree, that email doesn't sound at all like a "little old lady". Sounds like someone who doesn't have English as their native language, but doesn't sound like an older person either.
Still sounds a bit odd to me.
Great to have such good detective minds on here! :D
She is Eastern European (well the name Elga) kinda gives that away
I genuinely hope this works for you buddy, I'd love you to prove all the sceptics (myself included) wrong. But until the sale is completed and you have got home with the money, people will not be convinced. I really hope it is genuine though - I love being proved wrong on this kinda thing with my naturally suspicious mind.
