He is trying to made away with my money. Yeah, right.

Oh dear. Oh deary me. Oh my ears and whiskers. I don't know which offends me most, the fact that this is a scam or the fact that the English is so terrible no one could possibly believe it's been written by an American or anyone who has English as a first language.

I meet an African guy on dating site, he convinced me to come down and live with him pretending to Love me, after coming down from the States with a enough money which I intended investing with and even went to extent of selling my father’s properties of(USD4.5million) he is trying to made away with my money. Which I deposited the money shipping company where he took me in a root area. I'm a foreigner here and it is dangerous for me here, this is why I need your gesture assistance. Will you be of help? Sincerely yours, Sharon Lee.

Ummm. And they have expropriated the name of a friend of mine . . .

I suspect they picked a random American/Western sounding name.

Sharon is a rather well-known SF author, mostly teamed with her husband.

It's coincidence. The kind of person who runs this sort of scam is highly unlikely to have even heard of Isaac Asimov.

Yes, I recognise the name, but neither Sharon nor Lee are uncommon names. I suspect the coincidence is random. Unfortunate, but random. If it had come from Isaac Asimov or Algis Budrys I might have been more suspicious that they had selected names from a list of SF authors. I'm sure that no one in their right mind would actually associate that load of twaddle with Sharon Lee, SF author.
