I recieved the following email on Dec. 27
"From Phillip Taylor.

Your share will be 20% out of the total sum, and then the remaining 80% will be for me, if I receive your mail indicating your willingness, I will give you more details about the transaction. Also in your response, include the following information: Your full name, Home/Mailing address, and Your private phone number.

This is an EXACT copy of the conversation. Except I changed my yahoo name. As you can see, he even propositioned me.
Watch out for these guys!
I want to report them to the proper authorities but I'm not sure who I should start with. If you have any info on how to do that, let me know.
Thanks!
