I have just received the following e-mail. A quick google informs me that 28 Oxford Street in London is McDonalds! How pathetic. However, the fact that people find it worth their while sending these messages means that some people some where are still falling for these scams. How can people be so naive?

Speciality of the Nigerians !!

A mate of mine fell for one of these despite being told by myself and several other people that it was scam.

Luckily for him he didn't lose anything because we managed to convince him it was scam before he paid any money.

Some people are just too gullible!

Are you sure? I thought it was those bloody Iraqis, Iranians, Serbs, Zimbabweans, Afghans, Palestinians, Syrians, and North Koreans who maliciously target the innocent and naive Israelis, Americans and British.

I thought the point was that they got all the necessary information from you so that they can empty your bank account. I didn't know they asked to pay anything.
Never been there, anway.

I think the 'Black Man' is in the process of inventing as many 'Scams' as possible in the vain hope that he will recover the value of some of the Gold, Diamonds and other resources the 'White Man' has stolen from him in order to enrich themselves. (some hopes).

At least WE can see what the intentions are, unlike the 'Blacks' who were always 'Kept in the Dark' (excuse the pun).
