Talk about the Nigerian 4-1-9 scam in all its many variations, such as bogus checks sent from Nigeria to purchase used cars in the U.S. and many other variations of this scam.

Fortunately for me, this went straight to spam. I received another similar spam last week. I've used this same email for more than 10 years and I think this is the first time the Nigerians have found me at this email.

I also find it interesting that they spoofed the sender as "wb.org" - the initials could match some entities that I have worked with in the past - but want to respond to a gmail account.

Let everyone else be warned!
