Folks,
Clearly a spammer has hijacked / spoofed esperanza's account and is
scam-spamming her email list.
Notice the different email in the text vs the posting address.
I replied to the email for a laugh and got a bounceback from the
gmail account. What that means I don't know... probably her account
got yanked for spamming.
Chuck is right to reject this type of email out of hand. Searching
the frameworks list for esperanza's name is hardly necessary or worth
the effort to recognize a 419 scam.
