How stupid. Nobody on the LUG would fall for that. Glenfiddich indeed..... 
the very thought! :)

She said there was  1,000 cases of Glenfiddich Whisky  locked in a safe 
deposit box in Slovakia.   She only needs a $10,000 loan to secure the 
release of her stubbornly romantic brother Dmitri who was wrongly imprison 
by a police captain who is a rival for the hand of beautiful Sofya the 
innocent daughter of an obscure Deacon in a nearby Provence.  She told me 
that once free they only needed to bribe a clerk in the local export office 
to secure the shipment of the whiskey to the U.S. but needed a legitimate 
American address for the export documents.  She would be very grateful for 
any assistance the wonderfully supportive people on the LUG could 
offer.  She included a photograph to show "her reliability and good faith..."
