Has anyone recieved the following email?

BUYER BEWARE: The following email is one that my husband and many others from Canuck Audio Mart received during the week March 12th to 15th, 2012. With research, I found out information of who this person is and what city she resides in. She targets audio sites which are primarily high end audio sites phishing for email addresses for which she sends the following email: “The attached files are the album list. Thestudio master are in flac format, and is 847GB in total(including 24bit44.1khz/48khz/88khz/96khz/192khz). The 24bit LP rip files are in wav format and218GB in total, the DVD audio files are in wav format and 316GB in total, andthe sacd files are in iso format and is 476GB in total. I will include somescreenshot of this files so you can make your desicion.If youwant these files, 1,choosea hard drive from Canada computer’s website, and send the link to me.2,send mewhat kind of files you want.3,send methe shipping address.Then youmay choose a hard drive which is enough for the files you choose(1TB for thestudio master only and 2TB for all) and send me the link. Meanwhile you cancalculate the total price you need to pay, and send it to my paypal account,which is [email protected]. The total price equals the price of the hard drive plus the cost of thefiles(150cad for the studio master only or 200 cad for all) and 30 cad ofhandling and shipping(include the Canada-wide shipping cost, paypal fee). WhenI receive the money I will buy the hard drive and copy the files, and it willtake about one day. I will buy the hard drive by cash, so you can return it ifyou don't want it.I guaranteethe perfect qualityof the product.Due tosome sample is so larger that I need another email to send it, please email meif you want the sample.I will check my email everyday.BTW: I am inChina now,but my partners will deliver those files to you assoon as you pay the money in Canada.So you needn’t worried while you must knowhow the paypal works,right?Ijust to make money to pay the tuition.(I am a college student)Thanksfor looking.Have anice day! :) Alexia” She uses multiple email addresses that don’t always get caught by a spam filter. Canuck Audio Mart has tightened their security since this happened but she is presently targeting Audio Karma and who knows which others. These files are very large so 1) we don’t know if they are stolen and 2) we don’t know if this is a scam. Many people for whom we have corresponded believe it to be a scam. She has stopped with Canuck Audio Mart around the 15th and has now targeted Audio Karma as of March 16th. I found her through Google social networking as I have a gmail account and so does she. The username in Google+ is Alexia Ma. She is a student and the University of Toronto. I have also found some info that she and her sister, Sophia Ma, may have been involved in some past scams. Anyone who gets email from any of these following addresses should be careful as the person using these addresses has stolen email from Canuck Audio Mart's members and is sending spam to these individuals under multiple emails. Just want to warn as many people as possible of this. Here are the emails being used and all of them belong to Alexia Ma who claims to be in China when she sends them. [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] This is the paypal account that is being used: [email protected]
