Examples of the "Nigerian scam" that flood my email box everyday.

Friday, September 15, 2006

This scammer wants me to believe that this email comes from Microsoft, and that I have just won $1M on the Microsoft Lottery.

Fact is there is no Microsoft Lottery.

The sadder fact is that some naive dupes fall for these con tricks.
