These Nigerian people are even trying to con people via sms now. My mum got a message earlier saying that her personal bank details are on a website.

When you visit the URL it says that the website will only work with Internet Explorer. It turns out to be a trojan.

The sad part about it though is that some poor person will fall for it.

These people are criminals.Period.People choose their paths….leadership is almost non existent here granted but that doesnt excuse taking money from foreigners or anyone illegally….you need to see how they live here with moneies gotten from fraud…
..Giving them a hearing is like understanding from a rapist point of view.

Only you Shannon, only you :)

Pretty interesting conversation though. I get a ton of those e-mails weekly and of course I discard them. It saddens me that they feed off of the elderly because they don’t *always* know any better or aren’t always there. Anyone else falling prey to this is greedy and ignorant. But hey like they say there’s a sucker born every minute!
