Finally!
I have to admit, I've heard of these phishing scams. I've seen the e-mails through newspaper articles and blogs. I've even just recently listened to an NPR podcast where they featured guys who spent hours scamming these scammers (in really cruel ways I might say). But, I myself had never received an e-mail notifying me of the wealth that awaits just a simple reply from me to my Nigerian friends...until today!I was beginning to feel a bit left out. Glad I can now say I relate to those people who have been the victim of a Nigerian bank scam. I can see why so many people fall for this. I mean, the mastery of grammar alone makes this so convincing!From: Mr.Micheal Elton
