StdDev, I liked your link. I think everyone should check out the FAQ and for some laughs, look through the Hall of Shame. Some of those pics are so bad that they are funny.

I actually knew someone that fell for a Scam but thankfully she did not have the money to send. That and I looked at all the "Official" documents that were E-Mailed to her (and yes they looked good) but could not find any proof using the internet to verify and location or company on them. I tried to prove to her it aws a scam. She did not want to believe me so she contacted another friend with ties to our Government. Guess what, He said the same thing as I did.

I felt sorry for her since she did send some money and was trying to raise $10,000 to cover expences of shipping trunks full of money. She was actually losing sleep over this. That's when I found out about it.

It was bad, but at least she learned a lesson without getting hurt.
