quite a threatening trend and we should be worried. my worry also comes with the latest scam "Nigerian Letters" as some countries' investigators call it. i bet some of you might've recieved emails with requests to transfer large sums of money. i have a load of these. so, what does it take for, say, western union to trasfer money across country borders? wouldn't our copies of passports and credentials do the job? just imagine you transfer a few million dollars and you don't even know that. this is my latest worry, although it is just a worry as the ECA "only contacted me with an offer" (that ended up as a few offers). note that i am not implicating any institutions in anything on here...just raising a possibility and fts' awarness on

cheers and beers to our careful applications anywhere we are
