This is very common here in UK where it is known as Nigerian Fraud - its
becoming
Nigerias national industry.
People actually fall for it and end up sending money over to get the ball
rolliing. www.nigerianscams.org/ tells all about the lads from Lagos and
their frauds
In fact a DUKW owner I know, fell for it against all our advice let greed
and stupidity take over and he lost £40 grand and this was even after his
bank told him it was a scam....

It is so prolific, Scotland Yard has its own nigerian/West African fraud
dept.

Nobody,

Actually there are many agencies who are looking into these scams.. www
naspa.com.au
is one of these. There is also a scam list but the addy has escaped me. I
got the same letter in a hotmail account and had a lot of fun with it.. Let
them get so far and then told them I was an INTERPOL agent at the Computer
Crime Section and there would be someone knocking at their door within
twenty minutes. Would love to have seen the reaction, but funly enough i
never heard back from them..hehe

MV Content..Perhaps we could gather up all these scammers and time wasters
and use them for speed bump and obstacle practise with our APC's, Tanks,
etcetc
