Villa owners/bookers alert -- The classic 'Nigerian/Togolese/Ghanian/South African scam' has now transmigrated over to the tourist holiday bookings industry. Put any/all missives from Jane Friel, Alex Kools and similar bandalus
on permanent block -- unfortunately, the only thing you can do to thwart them.

Thanks for the warning!

The site, in itself a perversely fascinating read, details the A-Z of today's online, mail and telephone/fax scammers.

"Caveat Emptor" meaning Buyers beware or Shall I reader or Internet Users beware. Greed ruins some of these people who want pots of money for empty promises. I do not scam and I am a nigerian and respect myself,I work hard for my daily bread. Yes, there are a bunch of bad apples amongst the Nigeria, but, look at it this way not all Jamaicans smokes Ganja neither. Becareful blackmailing all Nigerians with statemenst like "those people, these people and and Nigerian". Lets all be careful. Those letters originates from Asia, Europe,South African Sierra Leone, Liberia and a host of other places. All I can say is " If it too good to be true then it is false, follow your instinct, don't be a fool and lose you hard earned money. A word is enough for the wise.

I saw a documentary on tourist abductions not too long ago, and one of the stories was in reference to these Nigerian scams. This guy actually WENT to the location to seal the "deal" and ended up being held hostage. What on earth are people thinking?
