Hello,
I just recieved an e-mail from "lawmbeki100@indiatimes.com", India, and
I recognized it as the Lawrence Mbeki Bank scam, which I heard about in
our discussions with some friends.
I have reason to believe that these scammers are collecting e-mail addresses
off of our mailing list users, I'm taking this very seriously and would like
ask the more experienced of you on what action to take next.
I appologize in advance for posting off topic; I thought that this would
concern a lot of the users.
I have already forwarded the e-mail to the Federal Trade Commission
"UCE@FTC.GOV", and I filled out their form to ensure that they have all
the information needed, however, I think that something needs to be done
to protect the mailing list users.
What further action can be taken?
All advice is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

show up, please feel free to contact me.
