Cleaning and cheking my inbox I saw an e-mail written in Italian (dated at 30 st December) that I hadn´t ever seen:

Ciao!! scusa il disturbo ci siamo conosciuti in chat un pò di tempo fà sono Rosa e ho 35 anni... ci eravamo scambiati le email. Ti scrivo perchè per queste feste fino al 7 sono in Madrid da parenti. Di giorno sono occupata perchè aiuto mio zio in negozio ma la sera è un noia mortale non conosco praticamente nessuno. Così anche in vista di capodanno mi sono detta... Bho io gli provo a scrivere chissà magari si ricorda di me anche se immagino chatterai con mille persone. Cmq io per l'ultimo dell'anno non ho programmi... E anche le sere successive una pizza magari mi farebbe piacere. Se ti và rispondimi bacio Rosa.

I translated it using Babel Fish and got something like this:

Hello! excuse the disturbance we have known ourselves in chat a time P2o makes are Rose and I have 35 years… we had exchanged the email. I write to you because for these festivities till the 7 they are in Madrid from relatives. By day they are occupied because aid my uncle in store but the evening is a mortal trouble does not know them nobody practically. Thus also in New Year's Day sight they are said to me… Bho I try to it to write goodness knows even I remember myself than me even if I imagine I will chat with thousand persons. Cmq I for l' last dell' year I do not have programs… And also the successive evenings a peak would even make appeals to me. If và you you answer kiss to me Rose.

I never have chatted in my life with any "Rosa" , I don´t speak a word in Italian and I don´t know nobody with that yahoo account
Don´t you think that all of this could to be a dangerous game in Madrid? (by the way I live in Spain but so far away from Madrid)

Maybe...but it´s strange way of recruitment...and people from Madrid usually don´t speak Italian...

"even if I imagine I will chat with thousand persons"

Truth from a scammer, I bet she does imagine chatting with thousands of people.

That is odd a spanish person speaking italian...is spain like the rest of the world (unlike america) where people know more than one language?

Maybe it thought Italian would be more exotic.

[sou_eu]

Unfortunately, in Spain about 80% of people only speak Spanish...

Somene could speak some English, but Italian is very very strange to speak here...

thank God for programmers for Bable fish

Hey I have received a similar email and I don't remember such a name. Plus, I don't chat. So I ask you: is it possible that such a complex message - that really seems to be true - had been generated by a computer program? amazing.

The language was used in the mail is written by an italian.
I have received in those days a new mail reminding me the past one.
The content is a little bit different. i have received a link to a site that can be dangerous. I did not dare to see it (i'll maybe do it using a VM).

the message
...quote
Ciao!! sono Rosa Ti ho scritto per natale ma non mi hai molto considerata ricordi?
comunque torno giù dalla tue parti da mio zio ancora per aiutarlo di giorno (che borsa!!) ed annoiarmi la sera perchè non conosco nessuno :-( resto giù fino al 22 aprile se ci sei per una pizza..... Se vuoi possiamo fare due chiacchere nel mio messanger www.likeyou.it/miomsn?alerosa quando sono in negozio di solito riesco anche un pò a chattare. baci baci medusellina
unquote...

roughly:
Hi this is rosa: I have written you past Xmass an you have not take me in care so much, didn't you?
anyway I'll be back in your area by my uncle to help him during the day (what a noyance!) and be bored the night as I have no friends there. I remain till 22nd of april,; if you are there for a pizza
Or you can chat with me on my messanger .... When I'm in the shop I'm normally able to chat a little bit. Kisses medusellina (little medusa)

my message was as follows
"Ciao!! scusa il disturbo ci siamo conosciuti in chat un pò di tempo fà sono Rosa e ho 35 anni ricordi?...
ci siamo scambiato l'email. Ti scrivo perchè per pasqua non ho programmi e visto che sono single da due mesi
mi sono detta via proviamo a mandargli una email!! Io da oggi sono in ferie per 15 giorni e pensavo con
una mia amica di prendere la macchina ed andare a fare un giro.. magari passo a trovarti!!! Che ne dici? Potremmo
farci una pizza tutti e tre una sera ;-) (se non ci reggi in due porta un amico) La mia amica è pazzerella e
spregiudicata come me :-) Se ti và rispondimi bacio Rosa. scarabocchina"

It's a fake. even though is quite precise. She is asking for a meeting (that implies telling her my home address in the future) or a dinner out for a pizza with her and a friend of her (!).
Should I reply to her (or him, probably) telling him that I alerted the italian web police or should I just simply stay silent?

Silence is always the best option unless you like spam or scam mails. If you answer you will get more of both.
