Default Ghana Scams...I just got one using my e-mail from here.

He messaged me using this site as his reference. Just thought you'd all like to know.

This "guy" was much more intelligent than other's I've had the "pleasure" of responding to. At least the grammar and spelling didn't look like it came from a two year old chimp.

Seriously sometime's it's fun playing games with them if you have the time. One recently was a puppy that I was selling. I still have the bogus cashiers check.

Anyway, not that anyone would be dumb enough to fall for them at this point but found it rather annoying when I was expecting something real.

Ah well.

April

Didn't these things used to come from Nigeria? I seem to remember all sorts of scams from there a few years ago. Looks like they moved next door to Ghana now, hoping we wouldn't notice.
