scams target Imperials

FYI,

These "Nigerian buyers" are rampant in all facets of monetary issues. I work at the USPS & have seen letters requesting everything from SSNs to bank account numbers. The Postal Inspection Service is trying to put an end to this nonsense; as always, "let the seller beware".

Play it safe & "show me 'da money!"
