Talk about dumb. Did she vote for Obama too?

Janella Spears doesn’t think she’s a sucker or an easy mark.

Just one more thing Janella Spears is deeply, seriously wrong about. ;)

[Ciexyz]

She should have used the money for counseling sessions. She needs it.

[LADY J]

"Now, Spears has gone public with her story as a warning to others not to fall victim.

She hopes her story will warn others to listen to reason and avoid going down the dark tunnel of obsession that ended up costing her so much.

Gee - I'm glad she warned me!! I was just getting ready to send a few thousand!!

I feel sorry for this woman. So what I will do is give her exclusive rights to the Michelle Obama-AFI tapes for only $5 but I will need a $75,000 deposit.

[KoRn]

All it takes is just one person to fall for it, and it encourages them to send those messages to the rest of us.

Dumb ass....

[Gondring]

Gotta watch the video at the link. Amazing. She blew her deaf husband's retirement.

...and she's a reverend.

Gotta be tough to interview someone like this and keep a straight face. But I feel SO bad for the husband.

For the lighter side and scamming the scammers, check out http://www.ebolamonkeyman.com/ and http://www.419eater.com/.

An example of the results...

Spears said it would take her at least three to four years to dig out of the debt she ran up in pursuit of the non-existent pot of Nigerian gold.

Hmmmm 400k/4yrs = 100k/yr

She must make good money as a RN.

[PGR88]

WHAT? I already sent API in Norway $3 million for the Michelle Obama Whitey Video!

[BBell]

I personally think she should qualify for a bail out from the government. Lets see a show of hands now.

Where’s lowbridge when you need him?

[KittyKares]

If she’s not an easy mark, I’d like to see who is. I’ve got some beachfront property in Nebraska I’d like to sell.

I am surprised that once the husband found out about the first $100 he didn’t put the kabosh on the whole thing.

“Spears fell victim to the ‘Nigerian scam’,”

No, Spears fell victim to wanting to get SOME-THING for NO-THING.

This is how all con-schemes work.

As WC Fields said in the 1939 comedy “You Can’t Cheat an Honest Man” ...

You can’t cheat an honest man!(or woman)

[Polynikes]

This scam can work both ways if you have an inventive mind and a sense of humor ie: “scam” the scammers

Obama Voter - Janella Spears

...in an added note, Hank Paulson asked the taxpayers to give $700,000,000,000 to CEOs of the nations worst-managed corporations, and they would share the trillions of dollars they have received in bonuses.

Spears – no relation to the well-known pop star

Having read this story, I think there might be a big relation.

[Non-Sequitur]

She hopes her story will warn others to listen to reason and avoid going down the dark tunnel of obsession that ended up costing her so much.

Considering that this is one of the best known scams going and she still let her greed get the better of her then I'm kind of puzzled as to what she expects to accomplish. She didn't heed the warnings, why should she expect others to heed them?

[Oztrich Boy]

Spears – no relation to the well-known pop star

I want to see a DNA test to confirm that.
