Re: OT: Oh This Is Rich
Yes, this type of scam is unfortunately fairly common. Most of them I have seen have originated in Nigeria. The writers purport to be connected to the government and ask for "help" in transferring money from petroleum sales. I even got a letter to that effect via snail mail back in 1995 or 1996.

Re: OT: Oh This Is Rich
Hey! Is it proper to refer to someone as a "foreigner" when you know the country of the person you are referencing? I think if one were to ask me a favor, calling me a foreigner over and over would not be a way to get on my good side.  |

Re: OT: Oh This Is Rich
Honestly, we should be allowed to hack scam artists computers without penalty. I would like to destroy all of their machines with some particularly nasty code I could just dream up
But I cant because its wrong (kind of like my philosophy of open season on drug dealers, but oh well)
