This time he is Luis Mila, complete with bogus family photos, and from Barcelona, Spain. Dec. 2009. Kind of a hilarious letter!

From Professor Willims Smith, Fossil Hunter, Neatherlands. This scam is so obvious I don’t know how anyone could fall for it. I filed a complaint with the FBI at http://www.ic3.gov.
