Considering my location, this seems like scam, what do you think? If it is, at least it is a much better scam than when certain person advertised his server on these forums, in the thread named "Yoo" or something like that.

no one except for someone who knows nothing about the currency, which cannot be a representative of a company (naturally)
if i were you i would forward this email to microsoft and aol and let them deal with the scammer, or atleast put out a warning for others not to fall for it.

I think this scam topic has been discussed enough now, therefore locked
When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"
