Who wants to fall for this nigerian scam?

Please do not be so naive ot believe that most Nigerians are scam artists.

Only a very persistent minority occupy themselves in this manner.

I guess our public relations ppl need to perk up a bit.

And by the way, if you received a PM on ET, the username must be known. Have you reported this to ET. They can certainly drop the user and report any useful information (including IP address origination) to the authorities.

How do they know that 100% of these emails are coming from Nigerians and or Nigeria? I find that hard to believe. It's just giving Nigerians a bad name.

a substantial percentage of participants in this scam are nigerians.

Wow, doesn't that sound a lot like the US? I mean yeah some of the Nigerians may be scamming Americans and select members of their government may be taking bribes on the regular, but we have:

Paris Hilton (or Lindsay Lohan plastered on national news television), George Bush (enough said), Politicians who are in the pockets of select corporations, American citizens being denied urgent care on the basis that they cannot afford treatment, a war in Iraq with other guys and girls my age being killed daily (while we watch TV about Paris and Lindsay), and credit card companies which rob Americans of way more dollars than the Nigerians have...i mean I love the US, but we have a lot more problems then we should have considering how intelligent and outspoken our citizens are
