I just saw that names are not allowed. This is definitely a scam though. See the google results for the provided contact number:
http://www.google.com/search?q=0020149733728%20%20%20%20%20%20&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
I am almost certain they are using the ATA member directory since each and every scam email I receive is sent to the address on my profile there.
Btw, I admit I got a bit jealous of his itinerary... now Cairo, Honolulu in November and who knows where he will be next. Sounds exciting ▲ Collapse

I just posted a similar scam: same guy, but looking for a translation into Spanish of a 1972-word document, "Regional Seminar on Economic Dynamics of Newly Liberalized Telecommunication Markets in CEE Countries and Baltic States." The dude is phishing the ATA list.

The reply is very funny, but wrong. By doing this she acknowledged that her email is active and therefore prone to intrusion by the scammers.
