Does the e-mail actually include the "WTF," or did you type that?

Too funny - I'll never understand how people fall for this stuff...

Ugh I get at least 3 of these a day. Surely no one falls for this stuff anymore. If so, then I feel they deserve to be ripped off. And why is it always Nigeria?

That was my comment. I hadn't gotten any of these for the longest time and now I've gotten two in the last week. I've saved the African jem as well.

If nobody fell for this stuff anymore, they probably wouldn't waste their time in sending them. Perhaps fewer people fall for it today than 10 years ago, but I'm sure there are still victims.
