Hello everyone - I'm a licensed massage therapist. I received the following email and at first it looks like a scam, but the author seems to know something about massage, which I think is rare in a scam like this. I emailed back and have again heard back. The guy has given me an address of a local hotel here in Seattle. If I decide this isn't scam, I will still require prepayment via paypal.

I searched the forums here and couldn't find anything like this.

Is this a scam? Thanks!
