Dear Randall Flagg
Allow me to introduce meself if it please you. I am the Lagos Junior Minister of Oil Policy Implementation. I am writing to you because a relative of your Natoye Flagg has died, sincere apologies, and has left 15 million US dollars in our accounts. It is urgent that you claim this monehy before the state of Nigeria seizes it.

All I require is your bank account information and a small sum of 1,000 US dollars for processing fee. I hope to hear from you soonist on this import matter.

Either the woman scams you right away or you get married and 10 years latter gets half your stuff, might as well save some time and just give up the cash right away.

Another giveaway is that their postings are printed in multiple colors, and refer to the sun.

That’s why people sign a prenuptial agreement. By some freak stroke of luck, I could get married to Ann Coulter, but I wouldn’t do it without a prenuptial.

I have seen some of those revenge sites. The funny thing is they are so desprate to close the deal they will do whatever you say and buy into your lies for months on end, as long as they think you are still a mark. I have seen some where if you spoke proper english you could tell you are being put on, yet these people have no clue, which tells me they use a program like babblefish to translate.

What’s the saying, “Why not cut out the middle man? Just find somebody you hate and buy them a house.”

I met Mrs. 2ndDivisionVet on Craigslist. It does work for some.

Yep. Here's an example: an elected official from Michigan, admittedly one of the dumber of the fifty United States:

Former Alcona County Treasurer Sentenced to 9-14 Years in Nigerian Scam Case

Embezzlement allegations against [Thomas A.] Katona were brought to the attention of the Attorney General's Office in mid-November 2006 while Katona was still serving as the Alcona County Treasurer. It was discovered by bank personnel that Katona had wired approximately $150,000 of Alcona County funds to banks in Taiwan and England. An audit by the Michigan Department of Treasury in December 2006 discovered a shortage of $1,236,700 in the county funds for the calendar year of 2006. This was approximately 25% of the county budget.
LOL!

What prenuptial? If you married Ann Coulter and it didn't work out, she would probably take everything you've got anyway:
