i wanna post this before I forget, about a month or 2 ago, I received a "nigerian" (even if I was born yesterday I wouldn't be born stupid) scam email, asking me on a "studio take over" related email for very little cash, but then it would require my deposit etc etc the usual.

so it seems that if you're a girl looking for love, they will con you via love.
if you're in the studio recording side, they will try to use studio related conning tricks

if you're guitarist ( like the thread I linked) , it will be via guitars.

remember, if it's too good to be true, it's because it really is.

For girls, they will go around asking for numbers, and say they're football players or so.. and the scam starts....

thanx for the info!
yea nigerian scam is not something new. i noticed a lot when i was doing lots of buyings/sellings on ebay in australia few years back.
always:
- don't trust quick cash
- doubt those that require deposit in advance
- don't trust quick cash
- don't trust quick cash
- don't trust quick cash
- don't trust quick cash

Nothing is for free. We can't even take for granted the air we breathe.

These Nigerian scams have been around for quite awhile now.

Last time they had those people that email you or post to you letters claiming that you've won 1 million dollars from some lucky draw that you swear you never entered.

Money will not be handed to you out of nothingness.

Unless of course you're Bill Gate's lover.
