Who's dumb enough to fall for the Nigerian scam?

[Judge Smails]

<p>Here's the guy: <a href="http://ktla.trb.com/news/la-me-nigerian2mar02,0,2465993.story">http://ktla.trb.com/news/la-me-nigerian2mar02,0,2465993.story</a></p><p>I average one or two of these emails per week.&nbsp; I always asked myself why they would even bother. No one could possibly be that dumb. Dr. Louis Gottschalk proved me wrong.</p><p>This quote floored me: &quot;Though many of the alleged Nigerian e-mails originate in other countries, Nigerian government officials said more than <strong>$700 million</strong> relating to 419 crimes had been <strong>seized in the last two years</strong>. Twelve people have been convicted in connection with the scam during that time, officials said.&quot;<br /></p><p>There's a lot of&nbsp;incredibly gullible&nbsp;people in the world.</p>

I used to get the in the&nbsp;mail; badly photocopied. This is how old this scam has been going on.

<p>So white people SHOULD be scared of black people?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[PapaBear]

My old boss almost fell for that scam. It's amazing how many people actually do. Of course, it's mostly old people, but it's sometimes just naive fools like my old boss.

<p>why do nigerians wear high heeled shoes?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>that old gag</p>

[curtoid]

<p>About 2 or 3 years ago I had the t.v. on in the background as I was online, and just as I was opening up another one of those e-mails the show that was on (I think it was &quot;Malcolm in the Middle&quot;) made a joke about it. Very funny...and very eeeeearie!</p><p><img src="http://indigo.ie/~rdshiels/eyebrow.jpg" border="0" /></p>

<p>Whatever happened to &quot;If it's too good to be true it probably is?&quot;</p><p>People lose their common sense on the internet?&nbsp; I feel bad, but if you're stupid enough to do this you shouldn't get your money back.&nbsp; That person should get to keep it.</p>

Helping war-trodden, poverty-stricken Nigerians who know how to email and have internet access is a very charitible thing.<br />

They're only poverty-stricken because people won't help them get their husband's fortune out of a European bank that he invested many years ago before he died suddenly of lung cancer.

This is why I only answer e-mail from Zimbabwe.

[Death Metal Moe]

<p>Everytime I get one of these E-mails, my only response it:</p><p>Niger Please.</p>

[FUNKMAN]

i found out about these scams a long time ago from my witch doctor...
