As someone elss said in another newsgroup, "why don't you sell your
computer first?"

Not enough money to attend college, but enough to go online, and run a
virtual money account. Sheesh.

Ah, Information. A good, too valuable these days, to give it away, just
so, at no cost.

The danger here is not only the loss of money donated. Polly Toynbee, a
journalist, wrote in The Guardian newspaper (UK) last December about a
begging message of this kind (a postal letter in this case). She sent a
cheque. Afterwards there was an attempt to milk her bank account, using
details printed on the cheque, and forged signature.

"A hand-written letter arrived from a Nigerian 14-year-old called
Sandra. It was nicely written on a religious school's headed paper,
though not too perfect, telling me her sad story."

Tell me. If any scams are posted again, I will not only have an admin not
let you post here, but I will have your IPs submitted to the admin also. So
remember, no scams or byebye Fred.

[followed by details I gave of how a fraudulent begging letter was used
not only to beg for money, but to empty the victim's bank account.]

Could you clarify? My name is mentioned here,and no other; is your
posting intended for me? What am I supposed to tell you -- all details
are explained in the URL I provided, and I have no further information.
Why should I be responsible for scams posted here? Who do you mean by
"an admin", why would an admin want to stop me posting, and how could
this be done anyway? This is all rather mystifying, and I note that you
post anonymously, make what seem to be spurious threats, and don't
provide a valid email address. Are you systematically attacking people
who expose fraudulent begging letters -- are you involved in this
criminal scheme?

Best wishes,

As if. Suggest you get the fuck over yourself. And buy a clue.

Pretend I posted a scam below;

<Insert Scam Here>

Now. Have an Admin 'not let me post here'.

Interesting... and what scam did I post? I seem to recall pointing out a
scam someone had posted. You might try reading the whole thread next time
before you make an ass out of yourself.
