Just as a warning !   One of the chaps at our rowing club was an RCMP 
officer who worked on "Nigerian Scams". He told me not to mess about 
with the scammers - no responses, no attempts to play games with 
them...and no contact!!    These people, he told me, were not above 
murder and he knew of several people being found dead on the streets 
after "visiting" !!   So be aware that going walk-about may not be a 
good idea.  Dunno what US police are like but he said that the RCMP 
would look into reports on such obvious scams - and oh boy, I do mean obvious!
