The email showed the first name, last name, and email address of the sender.

I sent him an email back with the information he requested.

Within a few minutes I had a reply to my email address with the "I'll send you a money order and have a shipping co pick it up" scam.

Now, I do not know if the person who's name was on the original message to me is the scammer, or if his sign in has been hacked.

I wanted to give the complete information to an administrator so that his sign in can be checked out.

Can an administrator contact me please?

Send this information on to Admin in a PM.
