  Ok....I read the info in that link, I have never heard of this scam before. For those who do not know about this one and don't feel like reading through the above link, here goes.
  These people somehow find out that you are selling a vehicle or anything of value. They agree to send you a cashiers check (which is fraudlent) for double or triple the amount of the asking price (for possible misc. expenses). You cash the check, then wire them the balance and send your car. So they get thousands of dollars and your car, and you get a nice bill from the bank and a knock at the door from the local authorities with cuffs in hand.
  How would these people get the info that I was selling a car in a little 2000 person circulation newspaper classified ad?
  I knew something was fishy and I wouldv'e never gone through with it but I was just curious as to know what this guy was doing!

• It looks a lot like that other scam letter and in Fl there is a lot of money laundering going on, but since this is both internet and international, call and report it to to your local FBI field office.

• Take look at this one I just now received:
  Mon, 9 Aug 2004 16:00:20 -0700 (PDT)
  From: "rose guie" <roseguie0@lawknowledge.org.yahoo.fr> Add to Address Book
  Subject: Urgent call.
  To:
  Dear,
  I am the first duaghter of an ex military/ex president been an opposition party to the present Government of COTE D`IVOIRE. On the 19th sept 2002 my father/mother
  including every members of our family was murdered by the unknown REBELS during the time they attack our house by shooting and looting, even this is one of the
  things that contributed to the present crisis in our country today.
  God so kind I was not in town when the incident occurred, the plans of the REBELS is to kill every members of our family so that no one will rise up to revenge as time goes on. I am in our country without any one knowing although I am on hiding so that the
  unknown REBELS will not get to me and kill me like they killed all the members of our family. Why I still stay back in our country is to transfer the $18.5mUSD
  which my late father deposited in the custody of SECURITY COMPANY, he deposited the fund as a family treasure containing AFRICAN ART WORK FOR EXPORT for
  security reasons, as security company does not operate as bank where some one can deposit his/her money openly.
  Before the death of my father he gave me the covering documents of the fund deposited in the security company, as I am his first duaghter and he so much loved me that was why he made me the beneficiary of the two iron trunk boxes containing the $18.5mUSD.
  Right now I wish to transfer this fund to you so that you will assist me to invest the money into any viable sector in your country, also you will help me to join you in your country for me to start up a new life with you there immediately the fund gets to you. since I am no longer safe as far as Africa is concern at the moment, I wanted to transfer the fund before leaving the country because this fund is my last hope and the only hope I have now.
  Before I even pick you to assist me I have prayed and slept over it asking God to
  provide for me a Godly minded person that will assist me in this transaction. I will give you more details of the transaction in my next mail.
  Awaiting to hear from you.
  Thanks.
  Rose Guei.

• Well, this is just my opinion here: I think he's trying to get a D in english class. His grammar and punctuation are in dire need of repair.
  If you sense its not a "kosher" deal , chances are , its not. Let good judgement prevail.

  Very interesting links in "Jetx's" post...
  I think what I will do is send an email to this 'Little orphan Rosie' person and claim that I will be moving to Africa in the near future due to a medical test I am doing to cure some kind of deadly disease. And the only plant I can get that contains the cure....is in Africa. Then I tell her that I need $1,000,000.00 in advance so that I can continue my test as the U.S. government has decided to stop funding me because they fear if I find the cure it will save the lives of the folks in Africa who have the disease. Then I will tell her that a company here in the states has offered me $5,000,000.00 if I develop the cure and that I will split that money with her...Better yet, I will tell her that I will give it all to her for her part in this wonderful deed I am doing.
