SUSPECT: BEST REGARDS
« on: May 04, 2011, 08:21:44 AM »
I was happy to find this morning that I was blessed with a great opportunity as you can see from the email below.  I was happy to see this wasn't from Nigeria.  I am not fool.  I know about those scammers in Nigeria.  I was happy to see this guy was based in Monrovia so I think he is legitimate.  This was sent to undisclosed recipients so I realize I may need to take advantage of this offer before others get in on it first.

Remember the old days when you just had to worry about the Nigerian scammers.  Now you have to worry about Monrovia scammers, what has happened to this world.   :lol:

The question is, does this crap even work anymore? Are there still people that dumb out there? In other words, is it really worth their time to write those up and send them out these days?

280plus, I would say yes. 
1) There is a lack of common sense in our country.
2) Everybody wants to "get rich quick" without putting any effort into it.

I've been averaging about 6 to 8 of those a day in my spam bin on one of my e-mail sites.  I got a letter a couple weeks ago from a company I do biz with saying they were hacked and I could expect spam and that no sensitive info was gotten.

I just mass delete 'em.

Covered all the bases except Fraud.

I get a certain amount of fun looking at some of that spam.  Got one from Eric Holder the other day.

Liberian spam.  I do like the name "Sam Ego".  I thought Charles Taylor was killed in last or the one before coup de' etat ?

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Apropos:

Found this Horoscope recently in The Onion:

Aquarius: "You'll be devastated by the news that you could have stopped a major tragedy in Nigeria if you had only answered their pleading e-mails in time."


(April 28-May 4 issue, page 14)

Fortunately, I'm not an Aquarian, so I guess the Nigerians are on their own.
