[Tango-L] Caveat emptor: Nigerian scammers

["Skip Augustine" <s.augustine@ieee.org>]

Heads up to anyone looking online for apartments in Buenos Aires. The
Nigerian scammers have even invaded that area of online commerce. My wife is
looking for one and a Craigslist ad she responded to turned out to be one of
these scams. It was reasonably easy to recognize, but if you don't have your
skeptic hat on, you might not realize it until it is too late. Just a
warning...caveat emptor.

Here is a link to one of many sites that have information on how to
recognize and avoid these kinds of frauds:
