Goodmorning Lawrence and good for you ...

Perhaps when you get one that is a little out of the ordinary ... you might like to post it here to help warn others about it ...

Anything we can do to help each other is greatly appreciated and welcomed.

Thank you and take care my friend

Hi Venerina,

I don't think this is the only one! When I first joined Adland a few weeks ago I think I came across one of the Nigerian scams but just assumed that they are here, as they are everywhere else!

I applaud the idea of banding together to get rid of them. In the UK, we can refer them to the police who will take action!

Regards,

Robert
