There are a lot of horror stories out there about people who have lost a lot of money to these fraudsters (the biggest loss being, of course, the dr. who presumably gave the 419-Nigerians $3mil), and my inbox still gets one or two these per week.

I really don't know why do these people think that any intelligent person would believe them, but apparently there are a lot of greedy folks eager to get easy money. As my mother always used to say: If it's too good to be true, then it is.

But, there's always another way to look at things, especially when you employ humor. Thanks to williamw over at dig I 'rolled on the floor laughing' after watching this masterful comedy clip on Nigerian scam spam e-mails. Check it out, and LOL with me.
