Hello,

I have a little business with some of our American partners. I'll have
a very important deal soon, but to proceed with it I need some
documents from them to fill in various forms.
Not long ago I got a fax from them and now I'm looking at what he says
his ssn is. To tell the truth I have problems believing this is valid,
because it looks just to small to me (it measures 6 by 12cm)
I really wouldn't want to sound stupid or something, but as I already
mentioned, I'm ouside US and I've never been dealing with thise ssn's
before.
So if anyone of you could tell me what a real ccn measures, that would
really help me to verify it.

I would greatly asppreciate your help, because it's really important to
me.

I'm sure it is important. My recently deceased friend, Prince Abu Moketo of
Nigeria, also needed that information. He left me a large portion of his
wealth, but the criminals now in government are trying to take it from his
estate. His will clearly left the money to me and I sent my bank account
numbers to have it transferred.

I'll be doing some traveling as soon as I get the money. Perhaps we can get
together for lunch, say in Morocco or Zurich and I can show you my authentic
SS Card.

Good one, Edwin.

Huh? That doesn't quite make sense. I guess you're looking at a fax of the
actual card itself?

They're, um, 2" x 3.5" or something along those lines. Let's see, your
measurements scale out to about 2.5" x 5", roughly. That seems
suspiciously large.

If you go to www.google.com/images and search for "social security card" you
can see a variety of images depicting various incarnations of these things
over the years. They're all the same size, going way back to the '60s at
least. The color of the card and the layout and graphics have changed
somewhat over time.

If you are going to counterfeit a card, you want to be accurate. Now where
do you want out money fraudulently sent to?

Yeah, I know. Egg on my face. Stooooopid. Thank you for not making a big
production out of rubbing my face in it and smacking me in the head with a
newspaper. Bad Silvan, bad!

Seriously?

Have I ever lied to you?

What's the scam on that one?

I think it was along the same lines as the Nigerian scam. Not sure, I don't
keep that crap around very long.

Don't know for sure, but how many people outside the US have to know the
actual dimension of an authentic SS card?


Maybe I'm just cynical, but I'd also be suspicious if I was passing the bank
and a guy standing there asked if I knew the schedule of the armored car
delivery.

I understood the point of that one. My question was regarding Buddy's
reference to a scam from Yasser's wife.

Yup.

Now we'll just use some glue to hold things in place until the brads dry
