Hello,

I am glad you did not fall for that. You also need watch out for 99.9% of the e-mails that have an African address in the e-mail saying they are looking for someone in the USA to help with money.

Also if you sell merchandise if someone from Africa says they want to buy a large amount of what your selling. I have heard a lot of horror stories that people have sent the items and then have the buyer stop the payment . So not only are you out the items your out the money too.

Please stop by and check out my forum and place your business opportunities.

Hi Anamaria,

Is this the first time you received an email of this sort? If so consider yourself lucky. As many of the posters here said they are "cheaper by the dozen".

Yeah, I think it's safe for you to delete it now. You're lucky and great without the $200,000.

I especially liked Roses' solution. Hang 'em by their toes. :) Who would have thought that our Rose would do something like that? :) :)

Shalom,

Peter
