I want to share this 419 scam request I received through Google Calendar. The phone number listed in this message traces back to Benin, Africa. I am 100% certain that this scammer is the same as the one who contacted me through LinkedIn with a fake profile which I researched through the posted image and discovered was used to in several other profiles in the U.S. and Europe. Google Images is a great source for tracing profile photos. These scammers are targeting us through in multi-faceted ways on the web. Here's the crazy message below.
