Re: attorney

This group is very dishonest and want to steal your money. I personally know of a situation where they got some bookkeeper to "borrow" her employer's money and stole over a million dollars. The bookkeeper went to jail. Stay far away from them. Bill Stern

419 Scam

This email is part of what is known as a 419 Scam for the section of the code in Nigeria which specifically deals with this type of communication and makes illegal this type of fraud. Your best bet is to forward the email to the FBI. The Nigerian government is claiming to be cracking down on these communications - however, new revelations have shown that some government officials are involved in the schemes (through payoffs and bribes), which net millions of dollars every year. My plan of attack is usually to request that the individuals send ME $10,000.00 at which point I will 'consider' their request. I haven't received any money yet but on the other hand they've stopped sending me emails. :)
