sheer stupidity on the part of the recipient.

Along the "dirty laundry" line...

I have had somebody, purportedly a high-ranking Niegerian banker or something, tell me that I could have 30% of 20.2 million dollars just for sending them a lot of my money. I've gotten that scam-mail a couple of times.

Open proxies are a disease.


Yes, I know it is snowing.
No, we are not putting the top up.

Sheesh, maybe i should have said "scams."

This latest is made to look like it's from CitiBank,
and though the page it links to looks like the real deal, it is in fact a walks like a duck, swims like a
duck clone which the bank says it is aware of.

Poll: you think I spotted this as a scam because:

a) It talked like a duck
2) I don't have a Citibank account
