Ever heard of the first name Carlz?

The following arrived in my mailbox today. The dates he refers to are already booked, so I won't have an opportunity to follow it up (unless the exhibition and training is suddenly and miraculously moved to another date) but this has the smell of scam about it, despite no reference to a cashier's cheque. I particularly like the 'I'm Carlz' sign-off. Of course it could just be a foreigner with a less than perfect command of English, but the numeral in brackets is also reminiscent of other African scam emails.

Add to that the fact that there are no exhibition halls or training centres within 60 km of the property...

Really suspicious but you never know. I'd still bet my house that it's a scammer. What will happen with these scams is the English will improve - the standard in this one is not suspicious - if only they hadn't brought up the exhibition and training...
