It's a shame the number of people who do still fall for these types of things. I have quite a few internet challenged friends/relatives who might just believe that. |

It would be really great if somebody with big resources would spend some time and money, hire crack cyber-investigators to run down spammers and virus writers...and make their lives "difficult" in ways similar to what they intend for their victims. How funny would it be for the spammer to find out all his accounts are locked, his car is gone, electricity shut off, compromising pictures all over the web, and his dog run off with the cat next door? Call it "karma". |

Has anyone tried to report that email address to Yahoo? It would help if they shut it down.

It's just that they made it so ridiculously unbelievable. If they had said something like 5 or 10 thousand, they'd probably get more people to fall for it. but around $750,000? Right.

Publisher's Clearing House gives away a million every now and then. Google is bigger than PCH, so... I'm just saying, some people see big bucks and can't see anything else. I have an aunt who once went to the casino 14 days in a row because a psychic told her she would win a large sum of money in the next 14 days. Needless to say, not only didn't she win, but she lost an awful lot. |

Ohhhh... Dang! I see it is in those funny British Pounds. The coke machine out front won't take those, so it's pretty much worthless here in Missouri.
Anyone who has a soda or snack machine that will take those funny bills, with pictures of strange people on them, are welcome to my share.
I just wanna know why that widdow in Nigeria never contacts me. I could use a rich girlfriend. To paraphrase Rober Plant's Rich Woman song, if she's got the money, then I got the honey.... ;-) |
