For everyone not familiar with the fraudulent 419 scams originating in Africa, they are generally poorly written emails having to do with a mysterious large sum of money (or gold) that a dearly departed relative has left behind and thus must be covertly transferred out of a repressive evil African country. Beside poor English and arithmetic- my PM message mentioned the sum of $2,500.000.00 U.S. Dollars- these email scams are heavy on religion and Divine truth. What these criminals depend on is the recipients staggering mental stupidity and basic greed that is pandemic in the world.
My personal message was from one Mrs. Odina Ben from the Cote d' Ivorie, a supposed member here named od23ben who has a grand total of zero posts on any subject pertaining to nudist resorts or naturism. While I doubt there is anyone here so naive as to fall for a 419 scam, it is interesting that their reach has extended to forums like this.
I haven't had any problems with this forum. I get a LOT of garbage from the WNBR-DC yahoo group (which is why I don't list a link). The naked bike ride is great fun!! The forum is only active for the couple months before the ride.
