Kent, the fraud scheme you are talking about is called the Nigerian scam. It started in Nigeria and has since moved to Canada, Mexico, and several other countries. The FBI and other federal agencies know about this but because of trade laws and lack of extradition laws with Nigeria there is nothing that can be done against the people scamming us. It started out as letters in the mail and is not an e-mail and internet wide scam. They are now sending people info to try to get them to join their company and private mini-corporations and every time you forward them their illegal money you get to keep your commission.

Too many dirt bags, not enough bullets.
