Do you mean from messages on this site (No I haven't) or emails? Then yes about 1 per week, usually from someone whose father was some sort of ambassador and the money needs to get out of the country blah blah blah etc. Does anyone actually fall for those things?

Send me £100 dollars I can give a entire list of people that have fallen for it.

Can you give me an address so that I can send it, and can you confirm £'s or dollars? 😕

I think you have that backwards. If you look at the back of a book sold in North America, the American Dollar amount is lower than the Canadian dollar.

Example:

Robert Frost's Poems
U.S. $5.99
CAN. $8.99

Thus, it takes more Canadian Dollars than American Dollars to buy the same product. Therefore, the American Dollar has a greater value.

Doesn't that just mean that Canadians value their books higher?

Currently the Canadian dollar is valued higher the the U.S it's a first time ever thing I think.
