   Hi,   
      
   Everyone knows about the Nigerian email scam. Criminals in Nigeria send out   
   hundreds  of millions of such emails based upon some deceitful premise or   
   story. They think the recipients are morons. Some are and because of   
   profitability the Nigerian email scams continue.   
      
   Lately, organized  crime in the Lower Mainland has come up with a new scam.   
   They will send you a text message from a stolen cell phone that cannot be   
   traced. They will claim that your cell phone has been stolen and is theirs   
   based on the cell phone number. If you phone back they will demand the phone   
   back and try to arrange a meeting. They may have guns.   
      
   Be warned. Be very, warned.
