and why won’t she leave us all alone? I get this email from her a few times a week at all of my email addresses:
How are you, My name is Grace Khobe and me and my husband own a company that sells Chinese and African textile and fabric material in Hong Kong, I am looking for a trustworthy representative in USA /Canada that can help as a link between me and my client over there. I would like to know if you are interested to work from home for us ACTEXO TEXTILE LIMITED needs a book-keeper or representative in the states, so I want to know if you will like to work on line from home and getting paid weekly without leaving or affecting your present job?
It appears that Ms. Khobe needs my banking info so she can deposit money into my checking account. I don’t have the energy to do it, but I think someone should start gracekhobepleaseleavemealone.com.

I got into a similar situation not too long ago. Went so far as giving my banking information and everything.
I was to act as a “go between” between a “company in Spain” and receiving payments from customers in Canada and the U.S. I received a cheque for $50,000+, keep 10%for myself and send the rest. Fortuneately, the bank was right on top of it, as the cheque was washed, and if I pursued it further, I would have had to pay all that money back. Money that I can’t afford. The man emailed back numerous times after that wanting to know where the money was, and I had to threaten to contact my local police if he didn’t leave me alone. Haven’t heard from him since. I have been ignoring emails like that ever since. Even had to threaten them with the police on a couple of them, but they left me alone after that.
