NEW YORK (AP)-Investigators suspect two African immigrants slain at a Long Island condo owned by an NFL player may have been killed as revenge for an Internet scam, police said Tuesday.</p>

Sekou Sakor and Ansu Keita were each shot in the head sometime Thursday night at a condominium in Woodbury, N.Y., owned by <font color="#0069AA">Jonathan Vilma</font>. There were no arrests.</p>

The <font color="#0069AA">New Orleans Saints</font> linebacker and former <font color="#0069AA">New York Jets</font> player was not there at the time and not believed to be involved, said New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne.</p>

Browne said investigators believe the victims may have been mixed up in a so-called "black money" scheme. Victims are sent e-mails saying that cash smuggled from overseas-stained black to avoid detection-can be purchased at a discount; what they receive is a trunk full of worthless paper.</p> <div class="skinny"></div>

It was unclear how Sakor, 31, and Keita, 32, both originally from Liberia, ended up at Vilma's home. Sakor's body was found Friday dumped in Queens; that of Keita was found in Brooklyn.</p>

Browne said various members of Vilma's family had access to the condominium, located in a gated development. It had been up for sale.</p>

Vilma joined the Saints last season after four years with the Jets. He was the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2004.</p>

His agent did not immediately return a call for comment on Tuesday.</p>

Vilma played college football at Miami (Fla.).</p>

I would laugh after receiving an email that said that. I'm glad that Vilma is not believed to be involved.

that someone would actually fall for something like that. The stupidity of some people never ceases to amaze me.

read her checking account number over the phone to someone. People fall for **** all the time it doesn't mean they are stupid. The blame still lies with the scammer.

...but anyone that thinks it's a good idea to send money to someone they've never met in Liberia, in exchange for a bag of money "stained black to avoid detection" needs to have their head examined to see if there is any activity going on in there at all.

and immediately got emails from two different "Professors" from England that were coming over to teach and needed a house. After I read about two pages of their "setup" story I told each one that if their complicated move arrangements were going to involve me cashing a money order or check and sending part of it back to them they needed to look elsewhere. Never heard another word.
