Good grief... people in my town fell for the Nigerian email scam.
:eyes:

...Not last month, not last year, not two years ago. This past week.

:eyes:

...To the tune of thousands of dollars.

:eyes:

...We're putting the "po" in "podunk" now, it seems.

:eyes:




...I mean really, what rock do you have to have been under?!? The Nigerian email scam is its own thing! There are scams based on the Nigerian email scam! It's like being taken by Ponzi himself, and going whuuuuut?!?

:eyes:

One more eye roll:

2. Unbelievable.
I didn't think anyone still fell for those. When I get them, I'll usually reply with a question like "Does anyone EVER fall for this shit any more?" I guess that question's been answered.

6. How the hell did they get online?
Anyone that dumb can't be smart enough to set up an internet connection, much less find their email.
