Beware the email hackers/scammers

Anyone else received a dodgy email today like the below, requesting that you respond to someone offline and with your private email address?

"hello dear, my Name is miss ******* i am here to seek for your friendship please contact me to tell you more about me (*********@yahoo.com)please my good lovely friend do not contact me in this site try to contact me in my privet Email id with your own contact Email address,"

If you have, I wouldn't respond to it. I disliked the look of it so much, I reported it. Looks decidedly like an intro to email hacking/scamming/419 fraud.

What is your email address? I don't have a million dollars but I can take some naughty pictures if you like. I read Big Country's book.

I already offered that to her. I can talk without my lips moving, but she doesn't want to play her part.

Am I the only one still laughing about a "privet" email?

There was a bunch of spam on the forum last night. I tried to report it but the button didn't work.
