Has anyone had any experience with scammers? Since I got Yahoo IM I've been getting bombarded with messages women who are overseas, usually Nigeria, who want money. It's getting annoying.

Yeah, I've been getting them off and on since I started my yahoo account back in 96. The sad thing about those is some people believe them and get taken. I always forward them to the security center of Yahoo and they actually go after them. add.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/security/cgi_feedbackThat's the URL if you need it.

I get scammed all the time on AOL with IM's from people I don't know. On Yahoo, I haven't had much of a problem, but all the guys I know get IM's from the Nigerian contingent

I just thought women from Nigeria really liked me... You mean it's all a scam?

Russian scammers is anothing thing. I tend to get emails from them. One of them I actually thought was sincere and I corresponded with her for a while. Then she asked for money, and that was the end of it.
