Their usual occupation? Engineers! And engineers are supposed to be smart, no? Unless they are engineer of their Lionel train set. But their English is atrocious and their grammar the same, and a lot of them show their residence in the US. Who do we report these people to to protect us?

Heh, I graduated college as an engineer. Very smart in areas of math, logic, and such. Very ordinary verbal skills (my SAT scores prove that). Residence in the US doesn't mean born and raised in the US.

Doesn't really have anything to do with them being a scammer...

they're not engineers, they just say they they are...
and most of them are from Nigeria. It's very common.

Wow. For me it was a schoolteacher in SF. I even sent a note, asking if it was a ruse. No doubt, it is. Boink goes the close button.

BTW: I'm also an Engineer. A Real one. Look for the RelyID sticker, sweetie.
I've said elsewhere without that I figure I'm looking at a CraigsList ad.
Get real. Get verified.

Oh. My bad. Sorry.
This IS just like CraigsList, open to the public with no guarantees of any sort.
Be sure to wash your hands afterward.
