Hi Cheryl,

thank you for your heads up on this one.

The scammers will use any means possible to try contacting people.

I did a search using the word Epmgigo as rereferred to the result was interesting.
238 results and all of them forum posts.

this is the search result if anyone is interested.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Epmgigo

The interesting part is I did not see a single referrence to any trusted news source like CNN, ABC, BBC etc. on this list which tells me the scammers cant even get the name of the reble forces in these African countries correct.

It is amazing sometimes what they will try. Evidently this scammer sends quite a few of these and has posted a picture of an attractive young lady on the profile page. Interestingly enough the only information on the profile page is the name and picture.

These scammers never seem to get their facts straight, do they? And
yet there are always those who fall for the pathetic requests........
