I just got this email today. It sounds kinda fishy though.... I'll copy and paste it below -------Dear Mr. Stone, I request your urgent assistance in a top secret matter. There is a matter of great magnitude, but with much possible benefits to you. We hope for you total confidence. We are top officials of the government of mineland. One day while conducting a large scale mining operation we came upon a vein of diamonds and gold at least five hundred blocks in length. Alas, just as we were about to extract this jackpot we hit upon a lava flow. We had to pull out prematurely(that's what she said). just as we were recovering our government went bankrupt. Funds for the operations were ceased. All we need from you is about 50 gold and diamond blocks to be spent on more pickaxes and torches. In return we will give you 40% of the profits which is roughly 200 blocks of gold and diamonds. We are looking forward this transaction with you. If you have any questions please go to our website totallynotascam.net ------Sincerely, Mr. Bunga Bunga What should i do guys? any thoughts?
