Re: [T3] African Scam warning (important)


Hello-

A warning to members: NEVER, repeat, NEVER deal business with ANYONE who
lives in Africa that uses freebie e-mail address.

This particular case is so _obviously_ a scam, but in some cases, they find
more creative schemes that seem very real up until the very end.  They
succeed quite often.  They all involve some African country (Nigeria is most
common) and an untracable, freebie e-mail address.

I should know - we almost got scammed by one.  It seemed so incredibly
legitimate, and we fell for it up until the very end.  But we caught them,
and turned them over to the Secret Service, and nothing was lost.

Take care,
