I received a variation of this over the weekend. The funniest part to me was the line, "Please send me your website," when they'd emailed me through my website. *face palm* D'oh! LOL!

I received the same type of email.  I googled the contents and it listed all the variations of the same email.  So yes it is a scam.

HI Lorraine, I received the same one this am. I have also received 2 others in the past 3 weeks from a person in Australia.

In reply to Sara, They said the same to me about the website.

I had another one in June. Ordered a Gift Cert with a stolen credit card. Didn't look suspicious when they placed the gift cert order, as they had the address, right zip code, and all the CC info including the 3 digits on back. But when they placed an order using the Gift Cert Code...all the alarms went off!

Gift Cert ordered under man's CC, for a woman. Woman places an order and wants it sent to a MAN in the Philippines!

I checked the IP address for both the original order and the product order. NEITHER IP address was in the state of the CC holder! Plus the phone number went to another guy. 

So..thats 4 people in this one order. SCAM. 

Weird thing is, I immediately contacted Discover to let them know their customer CC info had been obviously compromised, and I immediately refunded the customer card. BUT....they still filed a chargeback! Arrgghhh

Why would they still file a chargeback. You refunded the $$ before they issued this. That doesn't make any sense

I received a long spammy request this morning, via my "Facebook profile," so they said.  The spammers are definitely hard at work, always!

Got one too.  The tip off is, supposedly they are on your website right?  Which in most cases shows the form of payment offered.  Also shipping methods and locations to where you ship, at least I do.... and why would they need an updated link if they are supposedly on your website?

LOL  Good one!

That should be a tip off, but believe me theres plenty of legit customers that don't read all that info. Guilty of that myself :) But the "please give me a link to your website" line? Ummm, like Sara said Duh...hello you are ON my website when you contacted me! LoL
