08 October 2002 - 11:57 a.m. Don't fall for this kind of scam. If you get an email from a "highly placed official" from Nigeria or Western Africa, ignore it. It's a scam. They're going to ask you for your bank information and claim that they are going to let you hold onto some large amount of money for them and then ROB YOU BLIND. Something really has to be done about email SPAM. It's really out of hand now. (2) Comments?
