234 is the country code for .........Nigeria. What a shocker.

Did a Google on the number. Got five hits. The number has been used by 'Fred Malvin' to sell X-Boxes and canola oil, 'Alisha Habby' for X-Boxes, and cell phones in England & Spain.

You would think people would be wise to this junk now. However a nurse down in Canton, OH, got left holding the bag for $30k on the fake money order scam. Saw recently where some elderly doctor in California blew $3 million on the inheritance scam. UCI Psychiatrist Bilked by Nigerian E-Mails

Just want to alert people that Kuwait has become another hotbed of the kind of rip-off that has been coming out of Nigeria.

A Buddhist zendo for which I do accounting received two offers to get funding from a Kuwait "millionaire" wishing to give funds to churches around the world.

I believe that if I hadn't told the dog people in that zendo about the scams we've all read about, they might have believed this scam. It was comparatively well-done. But it was so reminiscent of the dog-purchase scams I had described to them that alarm bells went off instantly.

Well...considering English Bulldogs generally sell $1000 + due to the fact that they have difficult deliveries that normally end in C-sections.....I'd say SCAM.

Word of caution: these same ads are popping up on online classifieds AND internet-versions of newspapers. A man had an English Bulldog for $130 with paper..health info...and pic included with dog. SCAM! Sad thing is...it was posted in a po-dunk online newspaper.
