I Smell a Rat

I remember fake screennames on AOL Instant Messenger.  I occasionally get friend requests from Internet bots on Facebook.  But today is the first time I've been scammed using my trusty friend Gmail.

hollisterandrea2: hey
me: hi who is this?
hollisterandrea2: I cant belive you dont remember me
me: sorry dont have you in my contacts, who is this?
hollisterandrea2: hey whats up? 23/F here. youu?

"Belive"?  "Youu"?  Come on, if you want me to respect you at all, even as a scam artist, at least use proper spelling.

Also any screen name with the word/brand/shamelabel "Hollister" should be an automatic red flag.
