Then they start asking for money to either help them get home from overseas or to help pay their employees.  Yes I am a victim of such a scam and now I will be paying for it for the rest of my life to the tune of over 20,000 dollars.  So be very careful who you end up with on those websites.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Melody]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 6th 2008 10:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Top 11 E-Mail Scams]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/23/worst-e-mail-scams-right-now-12/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/23/worst-e-mail-scams-right-now-12/</guid><description><![CDATA[Here's a new twist to the Nigerian scam.  My friend advertised on her daughter's college on-line message board for a roommate (the extended family had a 2 bedroom house in town and they were looking for a roommate).  They received a response from England - a young lady was coming to the college in the fall and needed a place to stay.  She and my friend's daughter exchanged e-mails and everything sounded legit.  When the check arrived, it was made out for 8 times what they were expecting.  Thankfully, they did their research, checked the postal marks and envelopes and determined it must have been sent from Nigeria.  They were immediately suspicious. When they received a call asking for the money to be returned (the young lady had "suddenly" taken ill), they told them they were turning everything over to the authorities.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lynn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 6th 2008 10:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Top 11 E-Mail Scams]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/07/23/worst-e-mail-scams-right-now-12/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/07/23/worst-e-mail-scams-right-now-12/</guid><description><![CDATA[I love these scammers.  I write back and string them along for weeks, sometimes months.  If everyone would always write back, it would flood them with so much stuff, they would have to give up the scam.  Hey, enjoy yourself and waste the rat's time!  It's fun!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Robert]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 7th 2008 1:15AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
