Wow. I thought the "Nigerian Scam" spam was so timeworn that nobody would ever try it again, but there it was in my inbox. I forwarded it to abuse@mail.com. Mmm.... Nostalgia.

Odd. I got one a few days back too. I hadn't seen one for a while. The letter was littered with misspellings, incorrect punctuation, improper capitalization (actually, the entire letter was in all caps). Who falls for these things? I appreciate a clever con as much as the next man, but you'd have to be an complete imbicile to swallow this one. Maybe some hillbilly grandpa out there who thinks if they can post it on the Internet, it must be true ...

IT's a meme. It's like some bad flu. You think you get in stamped out all over the world, then some pig wallos in duckshit and bang, you have another round, slightly modified.

Remember, there are people who fall for the trick of "win.exe is a virus file -- delete it!" style emails

Well, yeah, but that's different. It self-selects for idiots (i.e. Windows users :-P )
