Dear Darren and List, This was the first time I was confronted with this particular scam, which in hindsight does not seem to be all that clever. I saw the Nigerian multi-million dollar garbage for the first time more than 10 years ago but I have not seen this latest spin until recently. The scary thing is that dealers and collectors deal with money orders all of the time. If this particular scam artist was a little less greedy and not so obvious, he could have easily taken a few hundred dollars from some poor unaware victim. The only reason I brought this up is that meteorites were involved and a lot of us deal with money orders and Western Union. It is my hope that nobody gets burned.

It's a standard Nigerian scam. http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=575065 ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
