Hi Chris, This Nigerian "419" scam is very well known. Has been around since the late 80's. My daughter forwarded one to me that a friend of hers had received about two weeks ago. Amazing that these letters recently started making the rounds again. Maybe they think people would have forgotten about it. "419" feeds on nothing but greed. People who want something for nothing usually fall it. The same mental attitude that works in every scam situation, including the penny stock market. The most interesting part to me was that even some churches got scammed back then, and they allowed themselves to be interviewed on TV! Ok Chris, I think I'll stick with the OTC BB scams. At least they are usually not so obvious, except to experienced traders. Found any hot ones lately? LOL! Take care, Aduke
