NEVER accept this kind of email at face value.
Fortunately David Nock knew how to contact him.
But always google a paragraph of yhos type of email, before you make a
financial decision.
We have a common bond. We will always help each other without asking
questions.
But scams are too prevelant.
At least check. Copy & paste 10 words inside "inverted commas" as a
qoute and see if it's a scam.
