[pchelpers] Re: Scam warning

 Some years back I received a similar letter (snail mail--physical paper!!) 
sent to my office. I know a scam when I see one as it's too good to be true 
which always is! Get rich quick scams target the greedy and naive ones. The 
worldly people would fall for it if they don't stop to think before acting.
 
Anyway, I wanted to keep that as a souvenir but was advised to send it to the 
police. Well I did just that. Should've kept it though! <g> It's not often I 
get a snail mail letter from Nigeria. That was the first and last! <sigh>

You have heard of the Nigeria scam by now. Maybe you even received some
of their mail. Maybe they are getting sloppy, but I received a message
from someone named CHARLES DAVID, who claims to be from the SOUTH AFRICA
MINISTRY OF MINERAL RESOURCES AND ENERGY. 

It's the usual highly confidential financial transaction story, but this
time he made a silly mistake.

He sent four copies of the letter to me yesterday using different email
addresses! Why would anyone genuinely offering a large private
transaction broadcast it to lots of adresses? Anyway, I'm sure you get
the point. This man is obviously out to get hold of private bank account
information from people to steal their money.

Be warned- do not have any dealings with him.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
