Hello all.
Yes this is a scam that has been around for at least 15 years. They are
looking for business accounts outside of Nigeria to wire transfer monies.
Unfortunately any monies in the accounts only get transfered TO Nigeria. The
only good thing about this was the Nigerian stamps you used to get. You
don't even get those with internet correspondence. STAY REAL FAR AWAY FROM
THIS!!.
Sorry to burden the list with this off topic subject but have known people
who nearly feel for it. Seems that greed tends to cloud one's good judgment.
Regards,
Frank

Funny, I get a letter like this about once or twice a month.

I worry that there would be someone foolish enough to actually get hooked
into
this trap. BEWARE.

Now, back to meteorites.
