Venditoris: Beware of Scams

---

Here’s a very recent “hook” letter in the style of Yet Another Nigerian Letter (YANL).

Looks innocent enough except (1) I am not her friend and (2) cannot abide by her wishes to keep this letter undisclosed.

Our goal is to help expose these sorts of scams. This is a prime example.

It is full of clues that it is a scam-do you see them?

If you even open it, you will likely receive more.

If you answer it, you will be on the hook and getting led to the financial slaughter that has ruined many.

Caveat emptor!

Caveat Venditor!
