People, this is a scam email, this means that you are going to fall victim to a ploy that is designed to make you LOSE money — not make it!!
If you sent them any sensitive information such as your SIN number, or financial infomration you may be in trouble. If you are in too deep, your best bet may be to contact the authorities and see if you can lead this person into a trap – at the very least identify who this person is in case you do become a victim of identity theft.
