GREETING FROM U S A EMBASSY BENIN REPUBLIC?
Here’s a nice colourful scam forwarded by a vigilant US reader, complete with patriotic flags and logos. How could you doubt a scammer who uses the American flag and a photo of some genuine Africans? The scammer tells my reader “All the walfare of United States Citizen is my consine. Am here to take the protocol of all our citizens to not be cheated by Africans.“
Scammers from Benin seem to have been hit by the credit crunch too. This advance fee fraud asks for an advance fee of $88. Makes a change from $150+. Keep waiting though. The sales will soon be on. Advance fee frauds will become much more reasonable.
Yes – you too will be able to lose less money to the scammers. Why be a fool today, when you could be a cheaper fool next week?
Better still, just delete the email, don’t reply and don’t be a fool at all.

I’m at a loss to understand why someone who apparently does understand English (that isn’t mean to be a catty comment) can come to a blog that says in large red letters that it is about scams and then actively ask scammers to contact them. I had to edit this person’s previous comment to remove his name, phone number and address.
