I saw that too Bill. Was sad. Those companies are racking up some cash with those schemes from Nigeria.

Not at all surprising to see the 419'ers on here, they get everywhere. Dating sites seem to be particularly badly hit lately.(lonely vulnerable singles) I've had two customers who've been heavily targeted by much more cunning scams lately.

On the plus side, should you have the time to spare, there is a world of entertainment to be had from scambaiting. (see http://www.thescambaiter.com/)
If not please feel free to forward any approaches you receive and I will pass them on to a "semi-professional" scambait'er who has the contacts and experience to follow up and waste an increduble amount of the mugu's time.
