I had the feeling something was wrong!

Ahhh... The good old "419 Scam". The song remains the same, only the words have changed. I get these things almost daily and have got to the point that if the word "Nigeria" appears in the body it automatically gets dumped into the trash.

I too find it hard to believe that people still fall for these; supposedly greed drives people to respond. Who hasn't heard the saying "If it looks too good to be true it probably is"? That's one of my credos. Sadly, I guess it's really true what P.T. Barnum supposedly said, "There's a sucker born every minute".
