Anyway, I am a bit too long in the tooth to fall for that.
Somehow I cannot extract the IP address of the sender, to check where it comes from, country wise..

Have fun reading this.
Not a new idea but some elderly or extremely gullible could be taken by this low life scammer.

My wife is 30 years old and has a form of cataracts. She can see, read, drive etc but has been diagnosed as having cataracts by her optician. She knows it runs in her family. She believes it might well relate to exposing her eyes to strong sun light in the Philippines.
