Nigerian e mail scam
by FisherKingKQJ October 14, 2005 11:43 AM PDT
I got one of those scam letters. I don't think I can help the poor general redirect his loot. I'd like to help the poor HIV greenback monkey
who got shafted in a mudhut. We don't pay enough attention to African innovators.

Microsoft ? Are you crazy ?

The day I opened an account with Hotmail, I was bombarded with 10 emails, related to the Nigerian scam. Everyday I have to delete 10-15 emails. It seems that Microsoft sites are the least protected. I am not sure how Micrsoft will help Nigeria ?

To me it is Yahoo

I have been getting these mails for almost the past 5 years. Even some of my friends have been getting these mails. But in our case it has been through Yahoo and not Hotmail. It is no way to support or defend hotmail, it is just to share the information.
