Are there really Americans stupid enough to believe this?

Only takes one, and yes, there are.

Donate to Hillary or this sure investment? Sorry, Hillary.

Tell him to go take a f-ckin’ walk!

[KarlInOhio]

This sounds like a job for The Old Negro Space Program.

[SaveFerris]

OK, I’ve got my bank routing number, account number, SSN and mother’s maiden name ready.

Let’s bring this Nigerian astronaut home now!!!

For anyone warm hearted enough to assist this poor unfortunate stranded Nigerian astronaut, I’d just would like to say that I happen to have connections to folks within the Nigerian space program. So instead of sending your hard earned cash directly to them, I think it would be, er, better to send it to me instead and allow me to... forward it to my good trusted friends there. Because I would hate for you to lose your money to some unscrupulous character(s) along the way. Really.

could be a scam

Have we really reached the point in human cynicism where this man's cry from the heart fails to reach ours? Are we really so jaded that we'll allow this poor victim of despair to rot, forgotten, abandoned?

Nay, I say! Twice nay, which would be "Nay, nay!" If you can't trust this poor soul, then send me the money and I'll see that it gets to him. All I'll need is a bank routing number and your SSN. Please! It's for the children. The children astronauts. The Nigerian children astronauts. The starving Nigerian children astronauts. Yeah, them.

I once listed to a psychologist explain how people fall for these scams.

Step 1 is to weed out people with an ounce of common sense. That’s why these scams are so unbelievable - its intentional, to make sure only the dumbest of the dumb respond. No wasting time with people who may come to their senses later.

Are there really Americans stupid enough to believe this?

They should send it to Chelsea's husband and in-laws, they already fell for the Nigerian scam once.

[Hulka]

Well post it here and I'll see that it gets where it's supposed to go. Leave the amount blank. I'll take care of that too.
