Minna,All of the major institutions I have dealt with have a clause somewhere in there 4 to 10 page purchase addendum - that prohibits assignment. addendums are binding and it pays to read all that mundane legalese - you'll probably find a single sentence or two in there, somewhere!

How do you copy a sentence and post it in another thread, is it magic?

I sometimes chastise (but in a nice way) people for writing run on sentences and not putting in paragraph breaks.

MikeBelieve me Mike, if I could tell you how to do it in a sentence I would -- it would take a whole book.

One glaring clue is that the e:mail correspondence will be disjointed and feel awkward to read -- spelling will be accurate, but phrasing and sentence structure will not be of the caliber you would expect from a highly-educated professional.Variations on this scam can be very sophisticated: Some operations have "mules" on the ground here in the states, and most of the time these people will not know they are pawns in the scam.
