Subj: Re: [DR-L] A scam?

Jackie,

I'm not sure where I saw it, but I received an email from another listserv
from a guy who revceived an obvious scam such as this. I think his was a
variation of the Nigerian oil ministry scam. Rather than delete this email
and ignore it, he decided to have some fun with it. He wrote back to the
sender asking for clarification of a few items mentioned in the original
email, and when the sender responded, he asked for further clarification,
etc. The conversation, which ran wildly far afield, continued for about a
dozen exchanges and was posted on the listserv when it ended. The
correspondence -- from both sides -- was hilarious!

If you have the time and the inclination, you may want to try this. It's
reasonably safe since the bad guys are most likely overseas and unable to
reach you.

Just a thought.

Stan
