A TOTAL SCAM!!!!
I do a lot of work with educational institutes and realized immediately that the below email received was a SCAM.
Though it is very exciting to receive such a large purchase order, however always take a moment to research everything before sending product. The email address was an immediate give away, followed by...well...everything else.
