I mean seriously which idiot would really fall for stuff like that, no wait, that’s alot of idiots. But seriously these emails are getting down right ANNOYING, i think someone signed me up for some spam newsletter or something *sighs*
by my calculations you have to be on the internet for roughly 6 months before you wise up. new people get caught all the time, especially if they have no friends
You know i get those alot. It seems, according to those emails that i have alot of family in South Africa who have alot of money, who are dying and i happen to be there last surviving relative. i’m supposed to send some lawyer somewhere my account details so he can give me 10 percent of the money and keep the rest for himself…lol i find it so funny…i’d be rich by now…if only
You’d be surprised how much “intelligent” people fall for those scams.
I was watching (can’t recall if it was Dateline or 20/20) and it revealed that a lot of lawyers, doctors, accountants (lol) and business owners are among those who have responded favourably to these scams. When I saw it, I was like, “A wha di raatid do dem people ya doe? Mi tink dem did have more sense dan dat.”
As for me, I usually forward them to spam@uce.gov, so Uncle Sam’s boys can sort dem out, propa.
