    Seems a wise decision to me Ad's.

    As an aside I received a letter the other day addressed to "Mr. Gavin" informing me of a Nigerian relative I had with the same surname of "Gavin"....I've been left $20,000,000!
    That these B@$t@rd$ will invest $1 on a stamp, envelope and stationary just shows that there are still those amongst us (who believe we have Nigerian relatives) and that these relatives somehow were filthy rich and we never knew about them. Of course in my case, the letter comes from my deceased relative's barrister so there's your vote of confidence right there! Anyone need a loan? :P

    That sounds like a classic Nigerian scam if ever I saw one, I tend to operate on the principle of "If it's too good to be true, it usually is", soon as I get an email with a very big sum of money mentioned, and it talks of a Nigerian relative, or person I've never met, know about, or never even knew existed, I tend to "smell a rat", that's when I delete the email.
