Everyday I receive at least 50 obviously fraud e-mails from different countries especially the UK and Africa. How stupid do these people think I am? First of all, they don't even address me by name, you'd figure if there is something as important as a substantial amount of money at least know my first name. To further insult me, they want me to believe that a FBI agent, a Barraster in England, a General in a African military or the President of the Moon has chosen me to be awarded 2,000,000 US dollars or British pounds. Most of the messages tell me I'm the next heir to someone who died as a native in Africa or England that has left me money. I pretty much have met my family in person for about three generations and no one ever spoke about a rich uncle "Ubu". I figured out by the time I go through the lists of bogus inheritances and lottery awards, I would be the richest man in the world. I wonder if these scammers send these notices out to other scam artist doing the same thing. I can see people falling for these scams years ago when it started, but who's falling for it now?
