Got the following message today from a board user:

I recieve a e-mail today that I believe is probably a scam.  It came under the following e-mail address   rita_4dikko at yahoo   it did go to my junk e-mail, but said it was from Group forum so I opened it up, but it was  just asking for my bank account number to do a business venture with me or something like that.

PLEASE ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT EVEN SCAMMERS CAN LOG IN HERE AND EMAIL YOU!  NEVER GIVE ANYONE ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION OVER THE WEB LIKE THIS.  This is what is known as the Nigerian Bank Scam.  Please be informed!

So did I. I started a new topic & the scam email arrived immediately after the email letting me know my post had been approved. They're quick!

I got the same thing, but in an email.  They must get enough bites to make it worth their while, but again, don't EVER get sucked into one of these scams.
