Has Anyone Else Noticed...

Post by Lord Jim »

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")

I haven't gotten this crap in over a decade.

I thought this scam had died a much-deserved death.

Does medi have your private email addy? :nana

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

Not been getting them here Jim, has your e-mail address been posted somewhere public?

If I get them I see how long I can string the buggers along for...
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?

Saw a few "widow email" in my spam folder recently. Guess the prince didn't share with his mom.
