Actually, I found this is another newsgroup, and I thought it maybe would be
able to kick some sense into people who actually consider asking about these
schemes.

I answered that, I found it in another group, and those are the other two I
actually look at.  I don't like cross-posting to a million groups.

Well, say what you want, I'm just posting it so maybe some idiots won't get
sucked into these scams!

Oh gee, you're welcome.
