The email's shown sending address is "dumbunny@ak.net" which sort of says it's a "scam". 

And the reply is to "applyms@hotmail.com".   Hotmail is sort of a thing of the past but it does still exists. 

Just thought I'd let you all know what was happening.

Interesting.   Don't see where the scam is yet.  Not asking for money.  The three info they are asking for are easily found on the internet.  I agree that the email address is really old.

All she needed was her car insurance money at that time got the money found another job and she reported no hassle At All! No where Near the price you posted.  BUT these days I too am Skeptical! RIDE SAFE.
