1208193 2011-06-09 21:14:00 It is easy to understand why I am not rich. I have turned down various offers of vast wealth by either ignoring it or simply deleting the message.

With all the thousands of scam emails sent out there must be a small percentage that will be fooled by it. Good on the daughter for warning her against it.

1208195 2011-06-09 22:01:00 Very foolish, if I ever expected to recieve thousands from a company Ive never heard of for a lottery I never took part in.... I'd at the very least do a wee bit of research... rob_on_guitar (4196)
1208196 2011-06-10 02:38:00 So the 55-year-old Hastings woman wired $544 by Western Union.

she said. " I'm not a gullible person."

She thought that was a bit strange so spoke to her daughter, who told her it was probably a scam. Despite this, the woman went to her bank and got an application for a bank loan.



Sigh. Where do we get the idea humans are intelligent???

So what does that make the people who don't send the scammers money?

I don't know, the numbers of people that continuously hand over money, give credit card details, carry mysterious packages overseas etc etc, despite the media coverage of it all, seem to indicate it makes the rest of us abnormal.
