You are to purchase 8pcs of $100 Amazon gift cards at the nearest store to you, I intend to send the cards out to each member via email ,so after purchase, bring out the cards from the Amazon packs, then scratch to reveal the pin. Take a clear picture of the cards and receipt then email them to me.

How long will this take you? Let me know

Notice how the sender is using a valid EYBA email as their "Title" (or name) However you should be focusing on the email address to the right. MrFraud@gmail.com? If you don't recognize it, don't respond.
