hey wanted to get your opinion on this email that I got.

Hello ****,
Sorry i have not emailed you for a while but i have been trying to see
a way i could get out of here.Anyway, I emailed my previous modelling
agent in the US about the outstanding debt which she owes me, she
actually owes me $20,000 from my last contract with her agency and she
said she would be to pay me $5,000 off it for a start and that she would
pay the rest later.
However, i could not tell her that i am in Nigeria now, reason being
that she should not be aware that i am trying to get another contract
behind her as my current contract still exists with her agency, she
would sue me and this might Jeopardise the chance of getting the money.
I told her i was in the US with my Fiance somewhere there in the and i
already told her she would be making the check out in his name, what i
require of you is to accept the check from her and cash it, then you
would send me the money to me here so i can come home. Hence, email me
your full name, address and phone number so i can get it to her to make
check to you.
Hope to hear from you.

It's a pretty safe bet that if it has the word "Nigeria" in it, it's a
scam.

Unless you're the Ambassador to Nigeria.

I sent a fake phonenumber that forwards to mine. Plus I told them to
contact the us embassy. I am going to make it as hard as possible to
contact me.

Yep, it's called The Spanish Prisoner, and it's a scam that dates back
at least as far as the 1700s. Originally the line was that there was a
Spanish princess who was trapped with her fortunre in Spain. The man who
put up the money to "free" her gets the girl and the money. As you can
see, it hasn't changed much. laugh

Nus, do you think Olivia/Hilary is cheating on me?

Maybe I should ask Steve Martin, he would know.

Definately a scam. I have gotten so many of them. It is always cool to
see a new approach. I think scamming is starting to evolve.

Turns out there's an all-night apothecary in her town.

It's open 24 hours-they just don't tell you which 24 hours they mean...
