Lottery Winner?

I was at Food Lion on Friday night, getting change for my Yard Sale on Saturday. When I went over to the Service Desk, there was a woman in front of me who was wiring money to an account in the Congo. While this may have been legit, I had a fear that this woman may have been taken by an Internet scam.

I get these e-mails all the time.
"You are a long-lost relative and I want to share the fortune."
"You have won this international lottery."

I wonder if the people at the service desk/bank/Western Union ever ask the person that is sending money if they really know the person on the other end of the wire transfer. I hope that they do.

Oh, and I made $34 at my yard sale. I priced low and sold everything exept for two pictures/prints that were worth over $100. It was a Multi-family sale so i got to hang out with the neighbors. Of course, it would have been more fun to be "out there" on the hunt, but I had to clear out before bringing in the refinds.
