Wow! People *actually* fell for these scams??

Now THAT is truly shocking!

Perhaps more than the "scammers" ought to be prosecuted?!! ;)

Won't run out.......

Only one new sucker born every minute? Man, I think that number a bit low. Too bad we can't legislate against stupidity.

Anyone stupid enough to fall for these scams deserves it.

You can't cheat an honest person.

And these "victims" weren't honest.

That's bull and you know it. They play on people's sympathy and not everyone is as cynical or jaded as you are. The victims are sometimes elderly or disabled and are told it will help their local church, charity, and it is not all about greed of the victim like you think. Only fools think like that. you = fool

Plus I bet you blame all those looking for love souls that get vitimized for being "not honest" when they get scammed by russian brides to be and the "I need money to travel to the US to be with you" scams.

In closing, I wish you a penniless existance.

To all of the truly stupid people online responding to the Nigerian Scam posts (kamwmail-cnet-1 included):
Hmmm, rather easy for you to judge someone else while having no clue as to what really happened to the victims of these scams. I was scammed, although I do destest the word victim. I had posted a resume on Jobvertise.com looking for at home work. I was finishing college, working a low-paying part time job, needed extra money and tried to find a job the RIGHT WAY, was contacted by scammers, and unfortunately got burned. They told me I was hired as an accountant for a charity, which seemed logical considering that I was a math tutor. The fact is, I wasn't stupid- I was and still am (thank God) a loving, caring, responsible person who always strives to do the right thing, help people legitimately, and keep my life on the straight and narrow.
My problem was not greed or dishonesty. The scammers deliberately tricked me into believing that I was working for a legitimate company that saved starving, diseased, dying, uneducated, poor children in Africa- which I know exist from TV commercials and telethons. Now, I know how to check for stuff like that and verify a company, but at the time, I was not aware that people even had scams going on- which is due to my 100% honesty and love for people and the fact that I would never do such a thing to anyone for any reason or amount of money.
