Michelle received this email today. It's not exactly a 419 scam, but of course, it's a scam just the same. It made us laugh, so I thought I would share it with you.
Subject: ARE YOU IN NEED OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE?
Good Day

Hope to hear from you soon,
Mr Sammy White |
The next step would be to contact him and give him all the information he would need to either steal your identity or get you to send some kind of collateral. This particular scammer could use a better translation and grammar dictionary...

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
Why not question something for a change?

What, you mean your not buying it? Sheeesh, some people are hard to convince. |
I would rather face a cold reality than delude myself with comforting fantasies.

Pathetic, but after all, this is America, Sucker Capital of the World. "Sammy" is probably raking in the cash already.
