Cousins,
I'm sure you've probably seen at least one variation of the "Nigerian
Scam" in your email, but I just received one that is particularly
disturbing. It claims the US national who died in Nigeria with a large
bank account was named Cashion. This demonstrates that these crooks are
accessing online information about genealogy researchers to make it more
likely that some clueless person will fall for their scheme.
If you do get one of these, please either trash it or forward it to the
FTC who are tracking these things. Do NOT get trapped!
