INSTANT SCAMOSITY

Good morning,

When I receive an email from an unknown source, I just delete it. Ahhh, that means I am safe from those who try taking advantage of me & my kind nature, right? WRONG!!

About a month ago, I was in a chat room on yahoo...no big deal, had been there many times before. During that stint, I received an IM, not from the typical 'bot', but from a flesh & blood human. Like with any of these IM's, I wondered if he'd have anything intelligent to say. He seemed nice, he was an "American" in Africa, so we talked for a bit...however, I was a bit curious when the dialect he portrayed was more British than the Tennessee 'drawl' I was expecting. As the conversation continued, he paused for a moment as he stated he had a phone call. After that "phone call", he stated he was in need of help from someone in the United States to clear a check for $8000, as the banks there could/would not have the capabilities of doing so. Instantly, the hair on the back of my neck stood on end...and I knew there was something wrong with this picture. Below, I will paste that part of the conversation.

The moral of the story: Let the chatter (not just the buyer or supposed winner) BEWARE!!

Thank you for your time,

kindly_contributor (10:47:24 PM): look...I don't know you.....and I don't want any part of this.....if you're a business man, then you should have all that worked out
