Several years ago, I heard from an American Embassy official that some U.S. citizens had been lured (by scam emails) to various African countries -especially the Ivory Coast. They've never been heard from again and are presumed dead... Shocked

This has already been discussed...even on teacher cut-and-pasted their email correspondence (the poster was playing the scumbag)...'twas entertaining...

Anyone care to link it...I can not remember which thread it was posted on (not the original post of the thread).

Just curious. Most ESL teachers are not that wealthy...that's why they're over in other countries working.

What would be the rational for such a scam....their passport?
