    What i cant believe is this (found on Blub2k's Link)

    From the Australian Federal Police 1998

    "Nigerian crime syndicates have added a new dimension to the fraudulent letter scheme known as 'fraud 419’ which has netted an estimated amount in excess of one billion US dollars from victims since the worldwide scheme was first reported in 1989".
    Thats absolutly amazing $1BILLION . I cant believe there are enough people stupid/greedy enough to fall for this. The strange thing is they are all Nigerian how can people not realise that strange offers of money + Nigerian connection=scam.

    I wonder if these Nigerians are doing it for a laugh just to see how many people are stupid enough to fall for it.
