In all seriousness, once I started forwarding such scam e-mails to the local FBI office, I quit receiving them. Dunno why, don't care. Works for me. My country gal's just a moonshiner's daughter, but I love her still. | |||

I have a friend who fell for one of these. He went to Nigeria and left with nothing but his huge relief to get out alive. I believe he dropped about $100,000. (That was before I knew him. He was an art major.) | |||
