I get several 419 emails daily here. They sometimes use the yahoo chat rooms to contact you. And, now I have gotten some from tagged.com. 419 is not the only scam the 419 scammers run. They are also into counterfeit postal money orders, fraudulent checks, and reshipping scams. They are all over ebay now with over payment scams or 2nd chance offers. Americans still are falling to the scams, as they continue to develop new methods and angles. About 2 Billion dollars, we lose annually to Nigeria. So much in fact, that I am all for economic sanctions against the country until they clean up their act. The last 2 years they have been doing romance scams on the dating sites. 30% of some of your dating sites are nothing but false profiles. The scammers number by the thousands on myspace.com, and have found tagged.com recently
