Anybody get a recent email from a guy claiming to want you to fly to his office to fill out paperwork for a song competition? It is very randomly written and doesn't name the name of the competition or anything-just that I need to fly down to his office to fill out paperwork. Hmmm...just thought I would see if anyone else was familiar this story in a similar way.

Yes, I received one today. Says he lives in Austin, but wants to fly me to his office in sacramemento, ca. I haven't responded to him, sounds alittle fishy??

Very strange and very, very fishy. He told me he lived in Washington DC but wanted to fly me to his office in Sacramento. What the heck is this guy doing?

Must be some kind of rip off. He apparently has several screen names I found all showing from the same location. Probably comes back with a fee you have to give him prior to anything else. Just another fishing scam.
The name in my mailbox changed to "fraud do not respond"

Thanks for your input. Hopefully our dialogue will help protect others who are not used to these sort of scams.
