Third, being from Africa (and that I've stated in my posts that I'm in financial services) I can only think that I was chosen for this message for help/involvement in section 419 Nigerian money-laundering scams.

It is my recommendation to ban Jenny55 from the forum.

It is also my recommendation that the post be reported to the appropriate law enforcement for investigation into possible 419 connections.


However, it IS good to be back on the forum! I've been meaning to get back here for some time.
I am only replying to your post because I find something you said a tab bit offensive...
I thought for a while if I should even bother to say anything... But to be honest I am tired of just keeping quite about it...
So here goes...

Firstly I would like to guide you to another thread that was started about this same thing Someone on the board really loves me!!

Secondly... Your third point is what I find offensive...

As per my profile I am from South Africa or Africa... either way...
I am as South African as they come...
I feel that it is unfair to generalise that because a person is from Africa that they would be involved is something like this... Fair enough, in this case they are...
But just "being from Africa" does not mean that...

I could do the same & generalise about Americans or Australians or New Zealanders... That would be wrong & offensive to some...

Same thing here..
