Are you annoyed by "Nigeria scams"?

Most of us get email offering access to a bequest or a lottery winning or similar "welcome news". The pattern is becoming well known by this time. They offer a carrot, claim affiliation with some trust or a major bank and wish to process a large transaction in your favour. Once the process begins, there are some legal or administrative requirements to be met which require fees paid before delivery of the money. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANYTHING! They are trying to scam money from you by playing on your desire for wealth (if you have one). Yesterday one arrived giving the name "Felicia Paul" so I decided to check up on her. Upon locating the company she claimed to be employed by, then contacting them to find out about her. They informed me no such person worked there. Note: This scam named the company and branch she "worked for". It was a simple matter to find it with a search engine and use the contact features on their web site to discover if the person worked there. She didn't. Checking up like this saved me a lot of time and expense by exposing the original deception. So be smart. Don't get taken in. Check up and expose the fraudsters before they can harm you!
