So then, I asked her for her locator number just to verify stuff...she sent me the SAME above message. I responded telling her that she was NOT answering my question. She gave me finally, the locator number for her profile.

The profile states that they a British citizens living in the US. They told me in the above message that they were moving to CALIFORNIA from Ireland, but on the profile, it says they are from Tennessee. Top it off, the woman (who calls herself Mrs. Philip Alex Smith, but states her husband is named Kent) speaks TERRIBLE English. I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't a Nigerian Scam ring or something similar.
