Unless this guy is senile or something, I just can't feel at all sorry for him. How dumb can a human being get?

Its more like he's denying he was defrauded. Its the same psychological mechanism that helps people cope with the death of a loved one or the loss of a job. I don't blame him for not admitting he was made a fool of. For most people, face is the only thing they have left once everything else is gone.

Hmm, pretty dumb, I'd say. I'm really curious as to if the scammers are so good as to keep someone from getting any more of the scam e-mails once they've been hooked in..

It'd be interesting if the reporter had thought to ask if he had gotten any more appeals from Africa while he was arranging all of this, and what he had thought of those e-mails at the time.

I feel the same way. But I have to admit that I know someone who's this stupid. Not many people this stupid. But at least one. It is possible to be this stupid.

Never underestimate the power of stupidity.

And what about his poor diabled wife? Is she mentally disabled along with her husband? Sad, but completely avoidable.
