At least you would be getting somethign for your money, if not a lot.
I seem to remember (and I can't find a link anywhere) that there was a company in the US in the 1990s that was sending companies invoices for the cost of invoicing them, and charging $100 or so per time. IIRC they were getting about 50% of these paid, once they contacted the accounts dept a month later to ask where the payment was!

The President of our organisation was wanting to pay this. I told him to wait until after the due date and if our web site was still working he could give me the cash!

I bet you don't get it! 
Perhaps you should send him an invoice for saving him money?

False invoice scams are still disgustingly common because it takes so long for the courts to get around to stomping on the scumbags. Ken White at Popehat's been collecting data on one of them since 2010, and the sunshines have only just started getting cease and desist orders from a few state Attorney Generals late last year.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A scam for internet services? In the future, I think I'll be more cautious about how I use the internet.
Ecclesiastical Review (i.e., Nothing New Under the Sun):
Many a year ago, I received (at my company-at-the-time address) what looked like a bill for magazine subscriptions. They weren't going to be paid in any case, but it required some close inspection and much reading to find where it disclosed that this very bill-like item was, in fact, an application for new subscriptions to worthless magazines.

Not new[^], still interesting though. I wonder why they aren't doing it more often.

What's your solution? I can understand transpose implies the wrong way but I can't see where "scored" fits in.

I borrowed your CCC and solution to use on my short story, hope that’s okay. My story is titled (re-titled) The Score and the number twenty is important to the story. I wrote it long time ago and changed the plot after seeing your solution to the CCC.
Thanks.

I just received the following letters from a new Nigerian friend
Dear Friend,
I know it will surprise you to receive this email from me.
I am Dr.Kwadwo Afari-Gyan the Chairman of the Electoral Commission Ghana
(EC).
I am contacting you regarding a funds worth the sum of $6 million dollars.
The money is the excess of the funds use for Biometric Voter's Registration
for voters for the 2012 election.
The funds was budgeted for the Biometric Voter's Registration the total
funds is worth $20 million dollars and we succeeded in spending $14 million
dollars in the process remaining an access of $6 million dollars which I
have deposited in a security firm here in Ghana.
The security did not know the actual content in the trunk box what I declare
when making the deposit was that it was family valuables.
As civil servants we are not allowed to run foreign accounts. that was why i
decided to deposit it in a security firm here in Ghana.
If you are interested in the proposal kindly get back to me by sending me
your letter of acceptance along with your direct telephone and fax numbers.
Note that your area of specialization is irrelevant to this transaction and
the transaction is expected to be concluded within few days if you adhere to
my instruction.
I await your response so that i can furnish you with further detail
regarding the transaction.
yours truly,
Dr.Kwadwo Afari-Gyan
They used to gift me Billions of dollars but now, because of this heart wrenching financial crisis they only have millions to spare, so sad!!

First, Ghana != Nigeria.
Second, please stop - it's bad enough we all get these in our email inboxes, don't have to see them on CP too.
I love go-o-o-o-ld!
