I received the identical message via the private message function here. I received a total of three messages (identical), and haven't seen any additional messages. The names used were "Honeybird" and "Ellachild". They have been suspended. If you see anything, please let us know.

That is an old lamer, there. The Internet Cafes in Nigeria are especially well known for these scams. Unfortunately, many are not as goofy as this one. There are some major league scammers out there.

My bank once emailed me, with a link to their site, to verify my password. WOW! It looked exactly like my bank's login site, but it wasn't.

Shortly after, my bank upgraded their security ... someone got rich on that one.
