When a dumbasses Nigerian Spammer is at work doing his Google search for email addresses, and instead gets a link to my Nigerian 419 idiot hall of shame.

It continues to amaze me how stupid people are...
I mean the Nigerian Spammers are stupid, but would they be in business if not for the greed and stupidity of those who answer them. Click on the link for 419 scams, then pick almost any of the lottery posts, especially the one on the Australian Lottery. See how many idiots write in comments asking me if they have won, or "how do I collect?" Then there are the others who get a check from an autobody shop in Georgia (forged of course), that is supposed to be from the Australian Lottery. They go out and cash the check, send thousands back to the scammers, and are stuck with paying it all back when the check does not clear... SUCH Stupidity almost deserves victimization.

Despite the fact that most of these idiots should know my email address by now, I get at least 20 scam emails a day. My favorites are the ones claiming to be from Dubai, from some helpless victim of throat cancer. I got one of those today. I wrote back telling the person to get the hell out of Du bai, since it is apparent that a highly infectious strain of throat cancer is going around there. (I of course told them that I get 20 such emails a week.) I love to waste their time. I can almost see how furious they are in the end when I let them know that I have known all along that they were a 419 spammer. What is hilarious is when I get a response filled with righteous indignation.

The saddest ones are the cases where they pretend to be some beautiful girl in trouble. I can imagine how many hopeless losers fall for that one, thinking they are going to win a fortune and get the girl too...

The whole thing is sad...
