Scam??? You mean I’m not getting that 10 million dollars I was promised from Uday Hussein?

...the scammers actually "appear to be 'family men' in their late 20s to 40s who are well-respected, church-going figures in their communities,"...

Same all over the world in every religion - anyone can quote and preach scripture, and swear up and down all sorts of vows and pledges and promises. But what matters is how you live your life - nothing else.

In the end, when we stand before God, we get no lawyer, and we're allowed no words.

I can’t believe anyone is dumb enough to fall for this stuff anymore. Especially when they say stupid stuff in their emails like, “here’s that document we talked about yesterday” and dumb crap like that. One of my old email accounts keeps get hit with this crap. They want me to click on some 4MB attachment. Yeah. Right. I did get a bunch that ended with “King Regards” and then the fake name. LOL! I think it’s the same group of idiots who keep sending these phony emails. King Regards? What the heck is that?

Church-going, or mosque-going?

I read this one interview with one of the scammers and he said “Americans are very smart, so we just mostly scam other Nigerians.”

I died laughing. Our average IQ of 100 isn’t so smart...just in comparison to them.

Every time I see Nigerian scam, I think of this Freeper.
