Default Beware of an e mail from a scammer using the name Anish Shah

I received this e mail yesterday from Anish Shah, who claimed to be in India with a partner in the US.

The list is given below:

Thomas A. Edison
Wright, Orville
W. H. Vanderbilt signed Letter
Francis Hopkinson signed Bill of Exchange
Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge
Samuel L. Clemens Signed Check
James Gamble signed note
Dwight D Eisenhower signed Appointment
James Madison signed Military Commission
Grover Cleveland signed 2 page Letter
Gen'l George B. Mcclellan signed ALS

He had offered me an autograph collection and I had e mailed him and asked him what he had.
I then requested scans and he did send them to me.
A little research revealed that he had stolen the scans from a historical autograph dealers website.
I contacted the dealer and he never heard of this guy.
So if you get an e mail from him (he uses hushmail) just delete it,it is a scam.
