Yes, I'm kidding, and yes it is in bad taste, but I don't care :-) I am just stunned that anyone falls for this. I know, no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public (just look at www.bodacion.com :-) but this idiot scam is just beyond belief. Have any of you police officers ever delt with 419 victims? Are they really dumber than a bag of hammers? Or is there something strange about this offer that makes otherwise intelligent people fall for it?
