• We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

It's a trap!

Legitimate offers ask you to provide your Social Security Number and bank routing info up front.

You ought to go to 419Eater http://www.419eater.com/ and study up on how folks over there play with folks like Frank Williamson.

Apparently it's not that hard to do, as shown here: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/australian-woman-turns-tables-nigerian-scammers-175755518.html

Of course, if you have an actual life you could just dump it in your spam file and then delete if from there.

stay safe.

Williamson also doesn't write as one would expect from an educated Brit... I suspect that the "pickin's" would be very slim these days. That scam must have almost run it's course by now. Pax...
