Spam — the kind that clogs your e-mail inbox, not your arteries — is an irritant for most of us and has become a mounting and expensive problem for the companies that deliver the e-mail.

Four years ago, Juan Garcia did something stupid: He groped a 14-year-old girl, the daughter of a friend.

It's time to learn the 4-1-1 on the 4-1-9. "4-1-9" is another name for what has become known as the Nigerian Advance Fee Fraud, a scam that's been around for many years.
