This is a bit different from most of the scam emails I receive so I am posting it here to warn others. I am hiding the email address it was sent from, but it appears as if was sent by an elementary school teacher in the US. I assume the scammer is spoofing the address, so I have sent it to it a mod for warning if deemed necessary.
