Scam update

So I did reply using a nom de scam. And this is what came back. I've highlighted what I suspect is the most important bit for how the thing would unroll. I was interested to see the relatively local address. Interestingly the address can't be found on the Post Office postcode finder. However the postcode does come up with a location on multimap in roughly the right place.

The Marina Offices, St Peters Yacht Basin,
Newcastle upon Tyne, NE6 1HX England.
Ref: UKLOSL/941OYI/53.
