    Y'know, I think I may copy this link and include it in my reply to the next Nigerian email that I get. I never reply but it would be hilarious if they fell for it, wouldn't it?

    Oh I've already gotten them, too. One guy wrote that he saw me in a dream and when he saw my pic, he couldn't believe it. That means that we're destined to be married. Yikes.

    Well, I just sent the link to another one who wrote me. This one was really brazen. She even wants my home address and telephone number so that we can "build trust". And she wants me to be her guardian and not expose her to my country to avoid "eyebrow" over her money. I probably shouldn't have done it because the number of emails that I receive has dwindled but I just couldn't resist it.

    This really has me rolling. I'be been hearing so much about spam but never really knew what it was...now I know. I don't get any stuff like that, installed too many spam blockers on my computer since I heard everybody talking about how bad it got. Glad stuff is blocked for sure, who needs that.
    Reminds me of Publisher's Clearing House that I keep getting in snail mail and I'm always a big winner IF I only do a few things....lol.
    I just garbage the stuff without opening it now.
