    I just received the following e-mail. No doubt it's a version of the Nigerian scam. Isn't it interesting that BMW would use a Yahoo e-mail address?

    Any fchatters in London who would know this street address or any of these names?

    I don't know the actual address, but Lincs is about 90 miles from London, so I do know the address is wrong. I'd also take a shot that 'Garden Close' is on a residential housing estate and not in a business area. They probably just made up the address or possibly even committed identity theft on someone...
