They are CROOKS but it's not THEM that're 'stupid'!
These fauds are being conducted DAILY because REALLY stupid people FALL for them! The stupidity is in the PUBLIC.... not the CROOKS!
One of my favourites is a guy who fell for a scam (a 'real' 419 scam) and lost £30,000 in the process. Then.... a few months later.... he received ANOTHER and thought that THIS one sounded more genuine and was offering him a chance to re-coup the £30,000 he had lost, previously. This time, the scammers took him for a further £50,000.......
Now that IS 'stupid'!
How can you feel sorry for such a PR*TT!???

On the subject of stupidity..... did you read of the GENUINE case in Chicago of a bank robber who wrote a threatening note on a piece of paper, handed it over the counter to a cashier and took the money. It was entirely successful until the police looked at the note and found he'd written it ON HIS PAY SLIP.......

Stupidity is a WONDERFUL thing!
