Old Scam - New Approach. At any rate written with better grammar than the Nigerian Oil Executive version. Does anyone really fall for this garbage?

Anyone that is so stupid that they fall for this deserves to lose their money.

These scams would stop if people would just stop opening e-mails from people they don’t know (or those silly e-mails that say FW: FW: FW: in the subject line).

Not much better. A real Staff Sergeant would have capitalized both words not just Sergeant. A real SSG would not mention that he had 'summed up courage', as his courageousness would be beyond reproach.

No America would ever call ask for your “mobile number”, rather, they’d want you cell phone number.

Hence the reason for the disclaimer up from that this guy was supposed to have a “Swiss” background. Kind of a generic way to cover-up any mistakes in grammar and speech.

Now that's just plain silly...anyone can see that she's adorned herself with painted toilet paper tubes.

Sorry, I didn’t realize that they have toilet paper (or even toilets) in Nigeria. My bad.

“Dateline NBC” went to Nigeria and did a story on these scams.

There are a lot of Nigerians at internet cafes in Lagos who are making tons of money from Americans who are stupid enough to fall for these schemes.

“Does anyone really fall for this garbage?”, you ask.
Look at all the morons who get elected to public office in America. Who do you think is voting for them? Answer: other morons, and unfortunately, our country has tens of millions of them.
