I Did It !!! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hi,
A few days ago I posted about a scam from Nigeria in Canada. It's probably the same gang as in USA because the e-mails were almost identical. I thought I couldn't do anything to warn ppl no to send any money but I found the way. I sent a very long e-mail to the newspaper quoting other replies from this forum and the editor sent "Transaction Warning" to every person who answered the add !!!!
This is the e-mail :
