An uptick in "Nigerian Prince" type emails lately?
I just deleted two more...
In the past week or so, I'd guess I've gotten about a dozen...this time around rather than being written by nobility or officials trying to launder money, they are written as though they're coming from desperate widows or dying people...they also try to give the impression that the people writing them are deeply religious, (which I find particularly offensive; they're filled phrases like "God's blessings be upon you")
