Hi guys. I'm a reporter for the NY Daily News doing a story about 419 scams, especially the new ones tarted up with Iraq and tsunami trappings. I'd love to talk to someone in the city who got scammed by these guys. I would NOT have to use your name if you don't want publicity. It just seems that in asking around casually, most people don't think anyone is harmed by these emails and I want to show they can indeed cause tremendous trouble.
If anyone is up for talking, email me at
HKennedy@NOSPAMPLEASEnydailynews.com. (remove the "nospamplease" part of the address.)
Thanks,
Helen Kennedy
