Just adding re the consultant.com address, mail.com provides many different domain names including;
Banker.com
lawyer.com
and financier.com
There are many others as well, any of our regular contributors will pick them straight away as scammers but unfortunately the general public are not as aware.

Mail.coms ethics are very questionable when it comes to helping scammers look more legitimate, if you ever see mail.com as an advertisement at the bottom of an email, there is a very good chance the email comes from a scammer :wink:
