Re: US ARMY (It's the 419 Scam model)

["James Barnes" <james.g.barnes@WORLDNET.ATT.NET>]

Dear all,



Substitute "Nigerian Bank Manager" or "former president of Nigeria" and you

have the classic "419 Scam" (also known as the Advance Fee Scam and Spanish

Prisoner Scam).



Check out http://home.rica.net/alphae/419coal/ for details.



I get one of these about every two days.  Spam filters appear to now be

picking them up fairly consistently now.
