Post an ad on the internet for any high ticket item and you're guarantied to
get at least one response like this. Most of them seem to originate in
Nigeria. They all follow the same script. They are all scams. My guess is
that thousands of them go out every day. The FBI has no more interest in
them than it has in the 3 card Monte game on the street corner. Don't even
waste your time replying.

True, an electronic (wire) transfer is safer and quicker than a Certified
Check deposit. However this would necessitate providing your banking info to
the "perps" - a bad idea. They already have too much info, if just your
e-mail address and name. In the situation I described earlier, the day after
I provided such limited info, I received a WARNING from MICROSOFT and e-BAY
that my e-Bay "Pay Pal Account" had been "queried" by a foreign source
claiming to be me! I don't have such an account, nor have I ever purchased
or sold anything on e-Bay. Al is right - you can't win in these schemes, but
you can lose big time. Just say NO!
