This is a copy of the email i got from a scammer pretending to be a host family from the US.
he also attached photographs that he sent me which are also fake,
he also stole the identity of Debbie McCardle who does work for CHI (Cultural homestay international)
It really is convincing but it is a huge scam, i have seen from previous post this guy was quite sloppy and he has seemed to up his game a bit. If it wasn't for this website i would have lost so much money!!!
