Nigerian fax e-mail scam, Audi content!!!

[james accordino]

This scam is OLD.  I'm just surprised they've mined
the Q-list.  I've probably gotten a half dozen.  Often
"the money" is here.  They just need a bank account
opened.  In someone elses name of course.  Or you send
some money to a third party to grease the skids.  I
actually read these as they are quite humorous.
Sometimes they pretent to be presidents of something,
royalty or whatever.  I find it most amusing that
ANYONE would actually believe this.  I guess "there's
a sucker born every minute".  Happy surfing.
