:lol: :PBut about 10 years ago, I was contacted by a "girl" in west Africa about getting a trunk sent to my address, then send her a ticket to the States, but one of my boys gave me a site to go to and check it out. It turned out to be a scam that milked nearly 4 million out of a guy in the Phillipines. I couldn't remember the site, so I was hoping WOT could tell me if it was on the level. Well, I found out that it's not. Something else to be wary about... One of my daughter's friends was looking for a loan with as low an interest rate as she could get. She found one up in Canada that looked to be on the level. Send $300 to have the application processed, and never heard from them again. So, what I just got is already in the hands of INTERPOL, just like the last thing I got. The "girl" in West Africa turned out to be a guy sipping margaritas on the beach of the Bahamas, and the photos they sent of her were from a modeling agency in Paris. WE'll let interpol go after them again.

That's crazy, Windwalker. It's amazing how keen these nuts can be, yet, folks fall for those scams. They do sound like a real deal, until you find out that you'd been had. :shock:
Back when I had AOL, I used to get all kinds of weird emails. Like I do today, if I got an email from someone I didnt know, I just deleted the email.

If it sounds to good to be ture. Run or really double check it. I never go for that stuff. No such thing as free money.
