Even when I first got it I smelled a rat. What I do is (just in case it is geniune) send a price costing as quick as I can, rather than a proper detailed quotation. This way if they are geniune they will get back to me, and if they aren't I won't have spent 30 mins on a pointless quote. Why do they send these scams? I can't see how you can get money from this...it's not as if a printing firm is going to send you anything without you paying them first is it. Yep, I’ve had this sort of scam about three times now.
