OP, you must be either really young and naive or on the prowl for gullible folks to message you so you can scam them out of thousands of pounds. First rule of internet is don't put your email address on an open forum unless you want messages from all sorts of weirdos (which may or may not be members of the forum!)
If you are the former, then please, please, PLEASE swat up on personal safety on the internet.
If you are the latter then [censored] off.
