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

Monday, January 23, 2006

If you cut through the bullshit of the scam email below, you will see that the scammer is inviting me to commit fraud; by asking me to pretend to be a dead person's relative.

I have a number of problems with this request:

1 I have no intention of committing fraud

2 There is no money

3 The scammer is a dishonest thieving scumbag, who should be sent to jail

If you are so stupid and greedy as to fall for this obvious fraud, then you deserve to get ripped off.
