Re: [gentoo-dev] extremely important

[Grant Slater]

South Africa is a very beautiful country! I am South African AND I use
gentoo!

Anyone with power? Please hunt this shameless bastard down and have him
skinned alive!

THIS IS A SCAM! The "Mr Peter Zuma" will ask for some money from you and
then he is never heard from again.

First time I have seen "them" use South Africa as their "base."

Thanks

PS: If it sounds to good to be true, it is!
PPS: Cape Town / South Africa is a VERY beautiful place! Come visit! We
can go L.U.G.ing
