I've read the threads on this topic with increasing disbelief... I hadn't heard anything about this WEW scam in my corner of the globe (very long way from IOW) - how many times have basically the same scams gone around? Doesn't *everyone* know about them by now? They damn well should! I read recently of a resurgence of the 'Nigerian letter' scam... unbe***kinglievable.
Flame me who will, but IMHO any employee who solicits money for one of these schemes/scams 'on the job' should be instantly fired for gross misconduct... doesn't get much more gross than thieving from your colleagues. No excuses whatever, no exceptions!
