Good for you guy's. Go get 'em. The "Nigerian Fraud" predates the Internet, as my fax machine used to receive one of their pleading letters once a month in the early nineties. Just wasting the the cons valuable (?) time, is a con in itself. Good show.

Unfortunately, yes. If no one ever fell for it, they wouldn't keep doing it.

You're right. I just wish I could get people to quit sending me ads for viagra and magic pecker growing pills. I don't know any males named Holly. What's their point?
