The money laundering/wire fraud thing? I think you *can* end up in jail for participating in that one *g*

What I love about this one is the assumption that you're naive enough to just turn over your personal bank account to a scheme like this. I mean, it's sick, of course, and we don't condone this behavior, no way, but it's so entertaining!

I was afraid of that, Dail. That's a pity.

(That's why it's entertaining, Lynn. Because you know there are people who are just that naive. Even people who didn't fall for the, "give my your bank account information so I can transfer $50 million in gold bullion to it" might fall for this one. At least the sp*mmers are showing some creativity....)

Heh. The people are either stupid/naive enough to fall for it or just greedy enough to think they can get away with it.

I think you send the contact info they gave you to the local FBI and let them and DHS fight over jurisdiction....

Well, I don't have any actual proof that they're doing anything naughty. :) Just a suspicion that it's a scam.
