All the talk about scammers lately made this post seem kind of well timed. Our dear friends in Africa are getting better and better at looking legitimate. Note the new advertiser "kellyf"

Obviously a scammer, but you have to give that person credit. He/she actually put some time in to making that profile.
It's actually a little concerning seeing how realistic some of these are starting to look. It was easy to simply delete the "interested in your {item}" e-mails, but they might start getting a bit more difficult to distinguish for some people.
Please be sure you know the person to whom you're sending money.

I like the occupation..."doctor". Or perhaps the "United State". This profile has BS written all over it. It's the internet folks.....

Yes, very good! However, the dead give-away is text of the ad. Several African doctors I know write perfect english, better than the one in the profile picture for sure.
