These scammers must either think we are all terminally stupid or maybe, just maybe, there really are folks out there that are so stupid they will fall for this crap.

Australian TV this week featured a story of a 70 year old woman who has "donated" $2,000,000 to the good folk of Nigeria!!

So there are indeed gullible, greed loons who fall for these scams

[PhilHarries]

You better reply and follow their instructions. It's the FBI for goodness sake. Who knows what they will do if you don't follow their instructions.

I know of one fairly wealthy Nr Pattaya resident that was looking to 'make a killing' in West Coast African Gold Dust last year, I was pissing myself laughing as I showed him similar deals on 419 buster web sites. His greatest worry was avoiding full import tax for the gold when he went to pick it up at the port.

He is old and not very internet aware, lots of money and can reply to email - a dangerous combination.

I have a good friend from Nigera, even he finds these emails funny.
