Dale Dortch in London

Just got a help, supposedly from Dale, needing money help. Anyone else get this? Is it real or is it a scam?

Chuck, I got the same message and figured that when you go 'down to London' from Illinois it's probably a scam. I called/emailed/texted Dale with no response. So I called SCOTT figuring he would know and he said Dale wasn't in England... SCOTT also said the same thing had happened in the Stl Canoe & Kayak Club with someone else.

I just received an eMail from an actual Prince over ta Africa ! The poor guy has the Government holding his assets .... If I could just get ya'll to each send me a wheelbarrow of money, I could put it in my account and try and help this here African Prince out. He'll send us Millions later ! Lemme know, Freddie

Dale is fine.
I spoke with him yesterday , this is a scam!
Beware of the hacker

I received the same email today. Darn hackers! Hope this doesn't screw things up for Dale.

and it is a scam. On the other hand- a long lost uncle, Tom McHenry, died and his estate lawyer wrote me to tell me that I am in line for a cool 17 million smackeroos! The more I thought about it, the more I kind of remembered there being an Uncle Thomas, who I actually dearly loved. I told the lawyer that I'd need him to send me $10,000 at 100% interest, earnest money to get me started. I would then start sending him monies to settle the probate. (an amount he estimated at around $15,000 dollars.)
That was quite some time ago. I guess he's having trouble finding the money?

I understand this Virus originally only affected Open Boaters. But then mutated and jumped over and infected Kayaker's.
