Got emails from this person claiming that he was the newly appointed Director of United Nations Legal Affairs ... I knew this was a scam from the beginning, as why would United Nations contact me via email with a yahoo acct.
Here are the emails used and sent to me.
I did reply back to him .. and then answers I got back didn't even make sense to what I had written in my reply.
Finally I was annoyed so replied to him that I had contacted the United Nations stating that they have never heard of him and they are coming to get him .. Never heard from him again...

Hi shanzzie, thank you for this report. :=)

But you should consider not answering to these scam emails. The scammers will mark your email address as one of those who might belong to easy targets, and you will be flooded with scam mails of all kinds.

I received a scam email from a man calling himself James Scott as well! Mine was much longer, more elaborate, and sent to me as a PDF file. The email he sent it from was really odd, ([email protected]) but he told me to reply to his personal email ([email protected]). It was an email about a "business proposal" where he is going to give me 40% of this money that a 'deceased client' of his left to his next of kin by lying and saying that I was his closest living relative. I never wrote him back, but thought it was rather odd.
