You really have to wonder with all of the press that has been given to these scams why the dumb f***s that send them haven't cought on? I mean are thay that dumb that they would dare think that there are any people in the US who have not heard about these scams? What kind of dumb, back water, dirt floor, bare foot, buck toothed, mono-brow, bug eating, sheep loving, Nigerian dumb ****s are these people? There has got to be someone over there with brains.

Or do we really still have ultra dumb people here that are so blinded by greed that they refuse to see that this is a scam? I think a little of both so I have ammended my previous post to include thinning the heard here at home as well.

Oh yes indeed, there are ultra dumb (or simply gullible and inexperienced) people all over. The Nigerians have found an industry that is very profitable from their situation, compared to their other industries. Part of this is due to the extreme currency exchange rates and other economic imbalances. Faced between manual farming a desert for one dollar a day, or sending spam for five dollars a day, some choose this dark life of crime, while the ring-leaders might make as much as a McDonalds manager, any signifigant earnings probably going off to pay off the local warlord/governor (just making up the details, but the real details I've seen from so-called "third world" ecominies have been just as amazing).
