Awww: i>a little error in her and all those exclamation points!!
People must reply to these things or they wouldn't keep sending them, you know? Like all those idiots buying crap from telemarketers...
There's a case out here of some famous university-affiliated doctor who managed to send the Nigerians some $3 million before his son was able to have him declared incompetent. And a diamond dealer who gave some other dealer many millions of dollars worth of jewels thinking they were being sold to Mrs Mobutu Sese Seko, as soon as the government (of Nigeria?) released the money that was rightfully hers.
If I'm going to be ripped off, it'd better be by someone who can spell! GRRR!
And yeah...someone's bound to have fallen for it.
I got an email from PayPal the other day. It looked really good and all the links were PayPal links - except the one they wanted you to click on. That began "http" instead of the "https" that PayPal uses.
What do you want to bet that someone, somewhere, clicked on that url?
That reminds me of the Farside cartoon where a father and son are watching wolves that just ate the neighbors and the dad is saying something like "I know you miss the Wilsons, Billy, but they were too weak and stupid to live."

It is so weird that people fall for those. What's the old saying - if it's too good to be true it probably isn't?
