I am not sure if this is some bizare sign of success but I have been getting a larger than normal number of E-mail scams lately.
I don't even have to open them to recognize them. Sometimes though i do, for the comedic value.
Why in the world would anyone in this day and age fall for these things? I am dirt poor and i could certainly use fifty grand from some third world banana republic, but as one of my friends is fond of saying, "I was born at night but it wasn't last night."
There are unmistakable signs that these things are bs, for example, the director of a major bank would not send business proposals to me on his throwaway yahoo or hot mail account. most banks usually have their own server for that. secondly why of all people in the world did Mr Mobutu pick Me, a nearly middle aged, trailer dwelling food service person to accomplish this task?? I just don't now.
