Patrick (an African) is trying the scam on Yahoo

I have a page on Yahoo. I wrote a few days ago about it being a great idea. It has helped me to a lot of new contacts.

 

Unfortunately, this is also a great boon to all sorts of criminals who are using it to contact people with classic 419 and other types of scams.

 

Here's the message from Patrick. You can recognise it in an instant:
