I’m suspecting that this email message could be a scam. I will be glad to copy and paste the copy of the email messages for you. I want to verify if the email message is legitimate or if someone is trying to do a scam to me.

Thanks for your help and cooperation, Spanish native speakers, feel free to write... See more

Been meaning to ask you this before. Why this name Yugoslavia? Are you from the former Yugoslavia? Don't tell me you mourn it?

Hi,

No, I'm from Spain, I used to like the Yugoslavian National Soccer team. This was a long time ago.

Thanks for asking.

Yes, our National team was good back then (Yugoslavia "died" 30 years ago in civil wars). Now football is only criminal, so called "football fans", in fact criminals, killers, kidnapers, were busted two days ago. Police entered their bunkers inside the football stadiums and elsewhere all over Serbia, brimmed with weapons, drugs, money, and buried human bones.

Hi Slobodan,

I'm really sorry this is what is happening to your country. I remember how Yugoslavia defeated Colombia in Italy 1990 and also Spain by penalty kicks. Thanks for your message. Have a good month of February!
