[pchelpers] Re: Scam warning

In the last month I have gotten similar Nigerian Scam pleas from South
Africa and Ghana and one other place ( I've forgotten where).  I just hope
the friends are wise enough or not greedy enough to fall for these scams.  I
have been told that a person can be physically lured to some off beat place,
kidnapped for ransom and/or murdered.  It pays not to be gullible or greedy.
