Predictably idiotic Nigerian scam. Horrid use of the English language, various emails that don't even come close to looking official, and the promise of piles of money. You would think that they'd at least try to write effectively if they're going to try this. I say, keep 'em coming, boys...I have way too much fun with these.

If this post helped you or prevented a scammer from gaining another victim, let me know!  I'd love to hear your comments.
