Happy New Year!
And, not that this has anything to do with the new year, but I keep getting Nigerian scam emails. One of them contained the following interesting account:
"In fact, since the death of my husband, his brothers has been seriously chasing me around with constant treats, trying to suppress me so that they might have the documents of his landed properties and confiscate them. "
At this time of year, I suppose that could be pretty bad, if one is already stuffed with holiday candy, cakes, cookies, and other treats.

I wish someone would chase me around with constant treats.
Happy new year, dmarks! Treat yourself well today!
I've always wondered if someone out there has written a blog dedicated to all the Nigerian scams. I think it could be good for a few laughs.
Dmarks,I hope the you truely have a Blessed New Year.
God those nigerian emails!
Do you suppose people pay to go to workshops called "Get Rich Sending Emails to the Gullible"?
Because I can't figure out any other explanation for the continuing flood. Surely people don't respond to the scams, not even the ones featuring treats. Although I do love treats . . .
Gerry: Last time I heard, these scams are the fifth largest industry in Nigeria. I can see how it can be lucrative (like with any spam).
They send out millions, and it costs them next to nothing. But if one of out two million people are gullible (a very small number), it's still enough to make it pay.
I also knew a personally guy who got one of these (and he was in dire financial straits), and he showed it to me all excited. It took a LOT of convincing on my part to get him to believe it was a scam. Even then, he wasn't sure.
I'd actually welcome some Nigerian scam emails. I just get constant advice on how to enlarge my nonexistent penis.
Beckeye: And imagine the total length you can get if you answer a whole bunch of "lengthen by 3 inch" emails.
Happy New Year!
