re: Cache in North Long Beach, CA

Does anyone have contact in Southern California who can check this out?

Seen on Twi**er:

re: Cache in North Long Beach, CA ... In other words, on East 49th, note east boundary of 3rd residential lot west from Elm Street. Project line north to tracks. Cache is 6 to 10 ft. from curb, just west of projected line. But, of course it's likely long gone. "Proper permission required; do not tresspass!

Sounds like a scam to me. First, it's on Twitter. Second, this tweet is very suspicious:

4/5 "I require 17% of value after initial $20k, documented, deposited to acct, acct info via [email protected] Finder to receive directions to 2nd cache. Proper permission required; do not tresspass! Do not make a mess! #90805 #metaldetector #treasure

It sounds like this person is never going to be seen in person if you have to deposit money into an account via an e-mail through some web page. I'd be leery about even going to that web page for fear of picking up some malware. If I was a fan of the Rockford Files--and I am, I would be thinking that the tweeter is looking for a bird dog, or running a con. Third, what are the chances that a cache of pennies buried by a 10 year old boy only 60 years ago is going to come close to the $20K that triggers an additional 17% for the tweeter?

Fourth, you conveniently left off the names "Henri Pavlov-Hsu @alexintokyo", which can be found with a simple Google search for the e-mail address, and seen in the exact posting on another forum. Edited information is always highly suspicious.

And I hear a somolian prince needs help transferring 47 million in gold to his country. Just deposit 10K into the bank account for the codes to the loot. It will be shared 50 - 50
