This one was posted on an Australian helicopter forum that has a lot of low timers posting on it. If one were to read the ad it would be quite obvious that it was cut out of position advertised in the USA for a fire fighting contract. Fire fighting in Nigeria with an oil company... I feel sorry for those that lose their cash with these scams but really a little bit of common sense or home work is all that is needed in the first place to prevent it.
