Plus, What does this actually say about you folks in the weatern world. I mean, for the most part, these are illiterate Nigerians that can not even articulate a complete and grammatically correct sentence. Do you not feel the shame?

People that prey on others weather it's because of their greed, gullibility, or whatever, need to spend years and years in prison. That's what we do with our society's misfits to protect the innocent. And I know that the prisons in Nigeria are extremely barbaric, which is just fine by me, they deserve everything that they get.....

After all the pitch ususally involves stolen money or some sort of criminal activity. It's so obviously fake that I can't believe people go for it. "A fool and his money..." etc. I guess I’m heartless, but I’ve always felt that anyone who falls for this scam gets what he deserves.
