Beware of scam PMs!

Please be on the alert. I just received the following scam (otherwise known as the "Nigerian" scam) PM in this forum. People who respond have actually lost their lives after traveling to a foreign country, or a lot of money even if they weren't killed.

Does anyone really fall for these anymore?

Thanks for posting about it though.

Thanks to Morgan, Tiny Snapshots is up and running again with "Tiny Järvafält" as the latest addition – Go have a look and tell me what you think. "We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." /Robert Oppenheimer on witnessing the first thermonuclear detonation in history.
