Africans buying machines

Good for you.  Is this another Archimedes principal?

LOL!  I think this would fall under the principal of the screw! '>

Well this is an interesting post. I got a few laugh out of it. It sounds like a money laundering scam to me. Be careful with this guy he may sound stupid and talk in all caps but if he is a pro watch out.
  Last summer we had our company’s phone system hacked in to and in 10 days they racked up $35K in over seas calls. I have spent a lot of time with both the local police and the FBI and it is not fun. They are looking in to electric crimes and the terrorist countries that where called (yep Nigeria was one of them). I hope the FBI in Atlanta will be happy to get an unexpected letter from Nigeria with a cashier’s check and your email in it. I would recommend contacting them just to let them know about this guy and see if they want more info on him.
   Hopefully it all works out for the best and will remain just a funny story.

To anyone who might read this message.  I am a Federal Officer.  I deal with the FBI, Secret Service, CIA, and other agencies.  I can not give specific details, but be aware that there are so many scams out there.  Even major financial institutions are being taken.    Be careful, protect yourselfs.  Only deal by through means that protect you.  If it sounds too good, it probably is.  If the person seems reluctant to identify themself, be wary.  The criminals are bad enough, but many times the schemes go far beyond that.  So much of the fraud these days goes to financing rebel and terrorist groups.  Exchanging messages with these people may seem like fun, many times it allows them to hack your computer and capture personal information, sometimes they piggyback your connection and reach out at your expense or identity.  Be careful out there.
