Here’s one for all you gold people. Just another of the many messages to arrive in my mailbox on a daily basis,
which make little or no sense.
So the first person who can write in and tell me what this scheme is about or not, will win an all-expenses-paid trip to the moon in 2020. The winner will also be crowned the “smart alec” of the month.
Answers on a postcard.. no rather send me a comment here, as quick as a flash.

according to them, it is a 419 advance fee scam .. (and it seems to be old ..)
I’m wary of anything that ends in “Mrs. so-and-so.”
And what, pray tell, is alluvial gold? Gold from the mouth of a river?
Anyway, thanks for sharing! I got a kick out of it!
Thanks Gaby. I realised it was a scam. most often its connected to a lottery or inheritance and they ask for bank details, This is the first one Ive got supposedly involving gold trades.
Anyone else got this?
Thanks Miranda, as they say bull …. baffles brains. Often technical words are used to make it sound more authentic, as the prospective customer doesn’t want to ask a silly question and look stupid. It’s amazing how many people get caught in these scams.

Sounds like one of these African scams. This is such a dangerous industry even when it’s legit. Stay Far,far away from this one!!!!!!
