Yet the volume and variety of these scams remain overwhelming, and the victims continue to add up. Please help us get the word out. One source of information on fraudulent schemes emanating from Nigeria is the Department of State's ''Tips for Business Travelers to Nigeria.''

He felt he was taking a chance when he put her in Swan Lake in Paris during the company's 1982 engagement because her portrayal was not yet ''precise.'' But the debut was a triumph. She enchanted the Western press, and word of her began to spread. On this year's tour, Asylmuratova mostly danced the role of Nikiya in the Shades sequence of La Bayadere.
