smooth wombat's Journal: I guess there's someone who will fall for this

Everyone reading this should be aware of what the Nigerian 419 Scam is all about. You've probably received one or two of them (I've only ever received one). As more and more people wise up (or the older ones die off, depending on your point of view), these scams, while still raking in millions, are becoming less and less effective.

So, in good Evolutionary style, those who want to make you part with your money have come up with their newest ploy. I give you, the Enron letter.

P.S. You still haven't fixed the glitch in your Journal system, Taco. One still has to enable javascript to write a title. I deal with incompetency, stupidity and laziness from my co-workers on a daily basis. I shouldn't have to deal with it on a web site which is supposedly run by folks in the know.

http://www.419eater.com/ [419eater.com] I was addicted to that site for about 2 working weeks because I read through a LOT of their entries, specifically the one about the off shore oil platform worker, that was CLASSIC! Great way to learn about the scams and a little bit of the payback they get!

Oh and one more I can recommend, is the story of the religious person in England, a Reverend that joins the circus instead of helping them out... right away hahahaha
